“A startling 15-song masterpiece, ‘Heartbreaker’ is…an album of astonishing musical proficiency, complete honesty and severe beauty.” —PITCHFORK
“…an exquisite collection of charred and tattered songs about a doomed relationship and its bitter aftermath…”—UNCUT
Heartbreaker, the debut solo album by Ryan Adams, hailed as a modern classic on its release in September 2000, will be re-released by Paxam Records and distributed by Caroline Records and Universal Music on May 6th on 180gm 4LP/DVD and 2CD/DVD Deluxe Editions along with digital release of the 35 audio tracks. Remastered from the original tapes, the album will come in a deluxe box set that features the 15 song album plus demos and unreleased outtakes from this landmark record by one of rock music’s most prolific and charismatic stars. The package will also include a DVD featuring never before released footage of a complete solo acoustic show at the Mercury Lounge in New York City in October 2000 (including Adams’ first ever live performance of his now-legendary cover of Oasis’s “Wonderwall”), and a glossy booklet of rare and unseen photos with liner notes written by producer, friend and collaborator Ethan Johns.

Heartbreaker was recorded over fourteen days at Woodland Studios in Nashville. The band featured Ryan Adams on guitars, vocals, piano and harmonica, Ethan Johns on bass and drums, bluegrass stalwarts Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch on guitars and backing vocals, and Pat Sansone on keyboards. The album also included guest vocals by Emmylou Harris, Kim Richey and Alison Pierce.
Ryan Adams was born in 1974 in Jacksonville, North Carolina. At an early age he started writing short stories and poems before receiving his first guitar at the age of 14. Shortly afterwards he joined a local band named Blank Label and released a record while Adams was just 16. Adams went on to perform with local bands Ass and The Lazy Stars before joining punk band The Patty Duke Syndrome, who released one single during a brief career. In 1994 Adams formed Whiskeytown who went on to release three seminal albums ‘Faithless Street’, ‘Strangers Almanac’ and ‘Pneumonia’ that went some way to defining the burgeoning alt-country scene in the US and announced Adams as a truly gifted singer-songwriter. Despite critical raves and a growing fanbase, the band split up in 2000. Adams went solo and has since released 15 studio albums: ‘Heartbreaker’ (2000), ‘Gold’ (’01), ‘Demolition’ (‘02), ‘Rock n Roll’ (’03), ‘Love Is Hell’ (’04), ‘Cold Roses’ (’05), ‘Jacksonville City Nights’ (’05), ‘29’ (’05), ‘Easy Tiger’ (’07), ‘Cardinology’ (’08), ‘Orion’ (’10), ‘III/IV’ (’10), ‘Ashes & Fire’ (’11), ‘Ryan Adams’ (’14) and ‘1989’ (’15).
