Listen to Ryan Adams Improvise “Frightened And Rabid” and Cover Black Sabbath

Ryan Adams performed at the Newport Folk Festival yesterday alongside the Infamous Stringdusters and Nicki Bluhm. During his bluegrass-centric set, Adams covered Black Sabbath‘s “The Wizard” and Slayer‘s “South of Heaven.” He also took a moment to improvise an entire song on-stage around the phrase “I’m frightened and I’m rabid”—hear that around the 27-minute mark of the concert recording below.
