Ryan Adams: Photograph Me While I Smoke.

Ryan Adams' new disc, Easy Tiger, hits stores today, which can only mean one thing: It is time for Ryan Adams to pose for pictures while smoking. It is, after all, part of his public persona. He must remind you that he smokes, and often.

Come Hither and Pick Me Up Smoker Ryan Adams:



Sure, Adams plays a mean guitar, writes a great lyric, releases great albums. These things are trivial by comparison.

Forget all of that, and just remember: Ryan Adams smokes.

The prolific musician has smoked in many places, and he has been photographed doing so. Here are some of the many smoker faces of Ryan Adams, who smokes, incidentally:

And he smokes.
