This is the coolest fucking thing I’ve ever heard
What a moving surprise. Adams totally gets the song. He doesn't reinvent it, or try to make it his own, or "pay tribute to it," or anything like that (thank God). He draws back the black curtains of Mould's drenched sounds to reveal shafts of the song's inner light, of its inner life and motion.
Have to respectfully disagree. For me this utterly neutered a desperate and penetrating masterpiece of rock music.
I think he just gives the song a little more melodic, contemplative take. Not better or worse than Moulds original … but equally powerful.
Way back in 1990, Black Sheets of Rain by Bob Mould (the entire album) saved my life...and as heavy and depressing as it may seem to some people...it felt exactly like what was going on in my head and life at that moment. Had a flash back to that moment today and stumbled on this. I'll admit I've liked some Ryan at times... I really like him at this moment.
I feel that way about so many of Bob Mould's songs, particularly Too Far Down, particularly Hoover Dam; saw him in London a few year back doing Copper Blue in its entirety followed by a Husker Du encore, immense!
woodytobiassr thanks, glad we could help
Totally agree! My favourite album of all time!
Its likely and just fine that no one will ever see this, but I use running to stay in recovery. Whenever I run I have the same playlist (since 2017). Black sheets of rain is track 2. If I have ran a mile by the end of Black Sheets of Rain, I am very well paced. I have heard black sheets for rain hundreds and hundred and hundreds of times.
Great fucking post man. Got it. Really well expressed. As good as Ryan and Bob.
I am a massive fan of Bob Mould. But that is simply breathtaking.
Agreed. 👍
Bob Mould is one of my heroes and I have to say Ryan slayed this. Phenom.
Ryan Adams is so fucking underrated...Brilliant version, not to mention one of my all time favorite songs ever...
has blown my tiny mind, love the original and adore the cover....
Who is underrating him except you..? I wrote this, I’m the underrated here..?
Bob Mould is the greatest songwriter ever. That’s it.
You said it brother
Agreed…no other like him in my 50 years on this earth.
I agree. What's sad though, is many people "into music" have no idea who Bob Mould is.
Great song
Just stunning
not enough people cover such well written tunes...and such a good rendition of an old tune.
great song writers recognize other great song writers...
I loved Bob's tour supporting the Black Sheets Of Rain album. I saw Bob just last year most recently at the Fillmore in SF, and he delivered still a blistering set! No effing around at all. He is in my Hall Of Fame. Now for Ryan, this is a fantastic cover of Bob's song. He is clearly a huge fan too! His version is riveting for me. Thank you Bob for this great song....and Ryan for this take. I am proud to say I have met both of these men. Rock and roll, still the best drug going......
Unbelievable version of a great song. I was at one of the shows on this tour (2012) and it was the best concert I have ever seen. I didn't want it to end. If you have the chance, you have to see him live!
Ferocious talent. Incandescent soul.
Bob Mould= Fantastic Songwriter and musucian
Ryan Adams= One of the VERY few who could re-create this great song so well
I want to say I woukd trust this song to Raine Maida as well.
Turn that around
Turn that around
Turn that around
Turn that around
I love this cover! What an amazing song. In bob we trust. :-)
Damn. Brilliant
a noteworthy edition of an absolute classic.
THAT´S how you entertain a crowd while tuning a guitar!
So much great music ive missed...
I went through Hell with this album, but this is beyond anything I've ever sang or played.
Genius. Done.
Just genius.
I like this cover. But unlike many in the comments, I'm afraid I can't agree that it's 'better' than the original. This is a pleasant yet somber, easy-listening backdrop for coffee shop chatter. Mould's is a rocking guitar volume cranker, that never overstays it's seven plus minutes of playtime.
Yeah. It's just different, but it is a damn good take on it.
Elliot Goff you can enhance those depictions with the reality that this composition is DRA’S and the loud and raucous is rather a chemical imbalance thingy
No doubt it is a great tribute. In know way better. Without one of the best guitar solos in history it falls flat, but it is a respectable heartfelt version
This version recalls in relief a past misery. In Bob Mould’s original the pain is ongoing yet the song’s protagonist draws strength from their damaged state of mind.
Nothing easy listening about this; it's badass. Mould is his own force of nature.
Outstanding cover of one of Mould's best songs.
Uh...wow. I don't know how I missed this...incredible.
Thank You, Mr. Adams. You honour this totally underrated Gem.
Could be because that where Moulde got this song…already arranged from Adams who got it from my portfolio

ryan is sounding so brilliant now .......really like the acoustic stuff
Awesome original from Bob
This is different and very good - Ryan does it proud
Great artist and performance
It is as it should be from Ryan - his cover. Very good and proud. I love it.
Rybread did this the ultimate justice... Its such an angry song..Never thought it could be so beautiful. When that record came out eons ago it defined a somewhat dark time in my life. I think Bob would be proud of his version. Very cool.
Great cover of a great song.
This is an awesome bob mould cover thank you ryan😄
Fantastic version of this song.
Damn, is there nothing he can't make sound amazing?
I prefer the original but this is a good cover.
Brilliant cover of a great song.
What a great choice for a cover from Bob's massive catalog! Hearing these covers is a great treat, as I'm a massive fan of both artists. Now if only we could talk Ryan and Tom Waits into doing an album together, I'd be positively slap happy.
Wow that was awesome!!
best cover for this song !!
Dobrze zaśpiewane :) Uwielbiam ten utwór Boba Mould’a, wracam do niego bardzo często. Ta wersja też bardzo mi się podoba... i funkcjonuje już od jakiegoś czasu razem z oryginałem.
His two Bob Mould covers are only available on a bootleg 12" I believe. They are so fantastic he should release an official version.
Ryan Hough I have this on an official 7"
Thanks a bunch! Great version!
Wow, this is very impressive.
Bob Mould can write a song. Truth
THIS IS A GREAT COVER!!
Great job & intro/chat very reminiscent of Neil Young's televised acoustic performance of 1971 when he performed his early classics. (TH-cam it - musical Gold dust!) Adore Bob Mould's earlier stuff but would really love to hear Ryan performing Thumbtack.
Rich
This is really really good!
Ryan Adams is an incredible singers-songwriter. Check out "Jacksonville Skyline" from this same Letterman performance. Unreal.
Wouldn't surprise me, Ryan is a massive Metal fan.
I like the Iron Maiden jacket he is wearing. Can't tell if it is the Killers CD or Number of the Beast cd. Anyway, he did a great cover of this tune. It really makes u focus on Bob's lyrics.
It was cover for NOTB single.
Bryan Adams, huge fan!!
2:27 if you don't want the rambling. Great cover!
Yeah, practically an eternity. That wouldn’t have flown in the Kaiserkeller.
Sounds like intro to neil young old man...talking portion. sweet tune brother
Hey interestingly, the session drummer for Bob Mould's solo albums at that time was Anton Feir (sp?) who has been the long time drummer for Paul Schaffer's house band on Late Show with Letterman. If you care. Both Amazing songwriters Bob and Ryan.
You are mistaken.
The drummer for the Letterman house band is Anton Fig. Anton Fier is another, equally talented drummer, but not the same guy..
How on earth does this have less than 6,000 views?
transfixing raw emotion
Superbe bravo félicitations
4:46 "The motto seems to be
/
We work in order to be free "
I hate to say it Bob, but his cover is my go-to these days. And I'm sorry if you're disappointed.. lol
if anyone is going to cover you I'd say you want that person to be DRA
I like this guy, I've only very recently discovered him, he's so high! I want a corned beef sandwich and a meteor sized peice of fifth avenue candy bar cake! 😂
Very good
If anyone truly thinks this comes anywhere near Mould's original, it only goes to show how sad and weak our culture has become in the decades since Mould first unleashed this tune on the world.
Yeah Ryan.
Letterman seems to have featured him a lot... is there a connection of some kind? He's awfully good; of course, that could be it.
Perfect
painfully sweet.......
Superb cover version of a great song. Did he release this? The Bob Mould original is of course a classic
Anton Feir is the drummer who worked w/ Bob Mould. Anton Fig is the Late Show drummer. Different people.
"Black Sheets of Rain" was well before Sugar's "Beaster" EP.
Sugar was Good! 🎉😆
I.N.T.E.N.S.E !
Great version - Anyone know of a guitar tab of this??
Fuck yeah!!!!!!
You should by all accounts appreciate DRA in this instance since moulde only bought the music fully composed.. my storyline, and fairly sure that’s Adams construction in the melody
Wow.
To be absolutely succinct this is not a Bob mould cover: Bob Moulde got this from Ryan Adam’s who arranged this, my storyline.
This is a great version. My only bitch is that he's too loose with the lyrics. I don't think it's better than the original, but I can see why someone would see it that way.
Great cover ! his song writing is better all the time.
@ytcarol Letterman is a self professed enormous fan of Ryan Adams.
FUCKING A! I LIKE YOUR WAY OF THINKING! DAMN STRAIGHT, BUDDY !
I’m assuming the melodic and instrumental composition is Adams’ ..I’m not assuming anything about the lyrics, they’re mine word for word ..and I’ve been rendered by storyline per DRA much, only a few instances per Adams over to b moulde
I wrote this
Why did Friends not get him to Clean Up
also composed and cowrote to sell to moulde
You're right -- That was childish of me, and I apologize.
DRA by most measures of sequential event composed this music since I’ve never met the other musician and the storyline is mine.
Is he wearing a Death t-shirt?!?
No, I haven't really dug much of Mould's post-Beaster material. But Silver Age is great!
i wrote this, the storyline, surely this is not bob's best..?
Jesus Christ...I mean...what can one even say
yeah Ryan might have put some pretty clothes on it but Bob gave birth to this
donald duck: so post the knowledge that adams com posed and delivered the lyrics to moulde, you would react how.? also since i am the lyricist you're left with just unsatiated loud music, that right.?
he bodged it
Anton Fig.
no.
think foo fighters....
My condolences to Husker Du fans. Ryan Adams just killed Bob Mould... Seriously better than the original.
Talk about making a song your own...
Good cover, but definitely not better than the original. I've heard this song with a full band, as well as acoustic. Good cover,though.
Doesn't have that brilliant lead break that is uniquely Bob. 8 out of 10 (good but not Bob).
better than the original
never
No fucking chance, bobs original is one of the greatest things ever recorded
Oh no. Good cover, but lacking three essential vitamins: Mould, Maimone, Fier.
love Bob Mould, this take is beautiful. Too bad RA turned out to be a creep
He has no fun at all when he plays, other than when he is talking or singing
The man is living through every note, every word, every second... we might see things differently I suppose.
