However, the release of these albums was indefinitely delayed after seven women came forward with sexual misconduct allegations against him. In 2019, Adams announced three albums to be released that year.

The album, Prisoner, was released in 2017. In 2015, Adams released 1989, a song-for-song cover of Taylor Swift's album of the same name, and worked on up to 80 songs for an album influenced by his divorce from actress and singer-songwriter Mandy Moore.

In September 2014, Adams released his fourteenth album, Ryan Adams, on his own PAX AM label, and formed a new backing band, The Shining, to support the release. The following year, however, Adams resumed performing and released his Glyn Johns-produced 13th studio album, Ashes & Fire, in late 2011. In 2009, after the release of Cardinology (2009), Adams disbanded The Cardinals and announced an extended break from music due to complications from Ménière's disease. As a compromise, Love Is Hell was released as two EPs and eventually released in its full-length state in 2004.Īfter breaking his wrist during a live performance, Adams took a short break, and formed The Cardinals, a backing band that accompanied him on his next four studio albums. Working at a prolific rate, Adams released the classic rock-influenced Rock N Roll (2003), after a planned album, Love Is Hell, was rejected by his label Lost Highway. During this time, Adams worked on several unreleased albums, which were consolidated into a third solo release, Demolition (2002). The following year, his profile increased with the release of the UK certified-gold Gold, which included the single, " New York, New York". The album was nominated for the Shortlist Music Prize. In 2000, Adams left Whiskeytown and released his debut solo album, Heartbreaker, to critical acclaim. He has released 19 albums, as well as three studio albums as a former member of rock/ alt-country band Whiskeytown.
