Ryan Adams and the Cardinals' Cardinology out in late Oct.

Shake off those infinity blues, boys and girls: Ryan Adams and the Cardinals are set to unleash Cardinology this Oct. 28.

The record, to be released on Lost Highway, features a (supposedly) "concise and focused collection of twelve unadorned gems."  No need to dust out the cobwebs, though, the tracklist features a bevy of new tunes even for those who obsessively followed the now defunct Foggy or the (hopefully temporarily) re-directed Cardinal Cave. 

The first single on deck, "Fix It," will be released tomorrow, and another track, "Stop," will be a featured song on the Sept. 30 episode of A&E's The Cleaner.  Ramping up to the release, the Cardinals will continue on a long line of tour dates and then celebrate the record's drop with a appearance on The Late Show on Oct. 29.

Finally, in other Cardinal news, as previously reported, Adams' first collection of non-musical writing will be released next March. It can be pre-ordered from the Akashic books website starting Oct. 6.

Cardinology tracklist:
"Born Into A Light"
"Go Easy"
"Fix It"
"Magick"
"Cobwebs"
"Let Us Down Easy"
"Crossed Out Name"
"Natural Ghost"
"Sink Ships"
"Evergreen"
"Like Yesterday"
"Stop"
