Cold Roses

Untitled

Cold Roses is Ryan Adams' sixth official album, and his first with backing band The Cardinals. Released on May 2, 2005 in the UK and May 3, 2005 in the United States, it is the first of three albums released in 2005. Cold Roses has sold 159,000 copies in the United States.

Although all the tracks can fit on a standard 80-minute disc, it was released as a double album with packaging and CDs designed to make it look like a vinyl LP. The album was also released in a standard 2-disc jewel case.
