Singer-songwriter Ryan Adams adds to his prolific discography on October 11, with the release of Ashes & Fire, his 13th!!! solo album (since 2000, for that matter). Adams recorded the album in California with producer Glyn Johns, who helmed iconic records like the Who's Who's Next and engineered music for the Clash, the Rolling Stones, and the Beatles.

Guests on the album include Norah Jones, who appears on three songs -- "Come Home," "Save Me," and "Kindness" -- and keyboardist Benmont Tench, a longtime member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Adams and Jones last collaborated on "Dear John," a track from Jones' 2010 album, ...Featuring Norah Jones.

The tracklisting for Ashes & Fire does not include "Empty Room," the song Adams released earlier this summer on a special 7-inch single that featured backing vocals from his wife, singer-actress Mandy Moore.

Adams will set out on a solo acoustic tour this Fall, hitting cities in California and the Pacific Northwest; dates are forthcoming.

Ashes & Fire tracklisting:

Dirty Rain
Ashes & Fire
Come Home
Rocks
Do I Wait
Chains of Love
Invisible Riverside
Save Me
Kindness
Lucky Now
I Love You But I Don't Know What to Say

    I want to check this out.

    The last album had good songs but in my opinion was bland. I hope this one is better

    So much for "taking a break."

    I'm not complaining though... Ryan Adams = musical happiness for me.

    Looking forward to this!!

    III/IV did have some good songs. I still enjoy it. Cardinology is just meh. Magick sounds like a Weezer song. However, Fit It, Crossed Out Name and Stop are classics.

    Hell yeah. Arguably the greatest songwriter of the last 10 years.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Good question i think it actually explains how i feel about both III/IV (which i was refering to) and Cardinology (to a lesser extent)

    A lot of the break, from my understanding, had to do with the fact that he had developed Meniere's Disease. I'm glad he's touring and recording again, as it means that he (hopefully) has learnt to cope with it.

    My thoughts too. He must have got it under control enough to continue on.

    As I've said before Heartbreaker is on my short list of favorite albums all time but based on Lucky Now and Black Rain I am hopeful this album will be something very special
