It seems the spells of ten new albums in a year have dried up (for now), but there are two new songs on Ryan Adams and the Cardinals' Follow the Lights EP, the follow-up to this year's Easy Tiger. The EP, which drops October 23 on Lost Highway, also includes a few studio takes on old favorites, and Adams' cover of Alice in Chains' "Down in a Hole".

What's more, according to the press material, "the two new songs on the disc, 'Follow the Lights' and 'My Love for You is Real' will both be featured prominently in this fall's season of the ABC primetime drama 'October Road'." Get your montage on, RyRy.

Ryan and his Cardinals are doing the tour thing for the next few months, both at home and abroad. Full dates, plus the EP tracklist, are yours if you want 'em: All you gotta do is click.
