Excellent. April 23, 2010
Dougles (Madison, WI)
Having had the chance to have seen quite a few RATC shows while the band was still in existence, and having followed Neal's photos closely on his website previous to the publication of this book, I was ecstatic to see that these awesome photos finally found a home beyond internet-land. This book is very well put together, the photo printing is phenomenal, and the added commentary from the band nicely accentuates the photos. A great coffee table book. I hope to have Neal sign mine one day, if I ever get the chance to meet him. My only wish is that the band were still together to continue the amazing music that they made.

Pretty sweet little picture book. The dialogue from the band would be worth it by itself. The pictures are amazing though. Makes me wish I was a Cardinal.
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - a view you must see. March 21, 2010
Palonka (Universe, the World)
a truly beautiful collection of photographs that document the journey between band-mates who are also friends. Neal's eye is amazing as is his ability to capture the moment uninterrupted. as a fan who went to some of the cities and gigs in this book, it brought back a lot of good memories. you gotta buy it!
Great Work February 23, 2010

This is a beautiful book, full of beautiful pictures. I love everything about it. I've been a RA&C fan for a long time, and have waited for something like this, that would provide a glimpse into the lives of the musicians on the road and in the studio.
The presentation is also notably great; a really high quality hardback book with matte/glossy cover, and very heavy pages.

For roughly five years, singer/guitarist/diva Ryan Adams fronted a badass rock/Americana/alt-country band called the Cardinals. During this time, the Cardinals recorded, released, and toured on Jacksonville City Nights, Cold Roses, Easy Tiger, Follow the Lights, and Cardinology. Adams produced and the Cardinals served as Willie Nelson's backing band on Songbird.
Guitarist Neal Casal was not only an integral member of the Cardinals, throughout his tenure with the band he chronicled the studio, the road, and everything in between. Adams is clearly the muse, the inspiration, and focus, but at the same time nobody else (with the possible exception of Casal himself) is reduced to bit player status. Telling and poignant photos of drummer Brad Pemberton, bassist Chris Feinstein (aka "Spacewolf"), and pedal steel guitarist Jon Graboff are plentiful, as are shots from the studio with Willie Nelson, from a soundstage with Henry Rollins, and from the road with Oasis.
For all of the energy that goes into two hours onstage, musicians don't stop living the other 22 hours in a day. There are amazing concert photos in this book, but probably more critical to the vibe and construction of the whole is the way Casal captures the animals when the doors to the zoo are locked and the keepers have gone home for the night. There can be no doubt that the tightness and precision that made this band "melt faces" on a nightly basis permeated their personal relationships as well; the band members say as much, but more importantly the pictures show the camaraderie and unity of five soldiers marching in unison.
Casal's book tells a story in a way that words could not. You do not need to a fan of Ryan Adams (or Phil Lesh, Willie Nelson, and/or Oasis) to enjoy this book. At its core, this is a rock and roll book and it tells THE rock and roll story from an unprecedented and unique angle.
