Ryan Adams & The Cardinals plot West Coast dates

For the past month on PasteMagazine.com, Ryan Adams has been sitting there in the upper left corner of the website, watching our visitors like a guardian spirit. Doubtless you've already had the chance to check out Steve LaBate's cover story on the man, his music and his unique brand of madness. But maybe you still haven't seen Adams live, and consequently haven't witnessed the glory of "The E-Zone" or "The Plateau" firsthand.

Well, if you live on the West Coast, get ready to make a date with Adams and his Cardinals. They've stayed busy in 2007 with Easy Tiger and the recently-released Follow The Lights EP, and aim to get an early jump on '08 with a run of 10 January dates. Give 'em a glance:
