The Suicide Handbook" is one of Ryan Adams' most legendary unreleased works, and it's become something of a holy grail among his fanbase. Here's what's known about it:It was recorded around 2000-2001, during an incredibly prolific period for Adams - right around the time of Gold and shortly after Heartbreaker. The album is a deeply personal, raw, and dark collection of songs that leaned into his more introspective and emotionally heavy side, more in the vein of Heartbreaker than the classic-rock Polish of Gold.The track list has circulated in various forms among fans and bootleg collectors over the years, though the exact sequencing and contents have never been officially confirmed - until now.
