Follow the Lights is an EP by Ryan Adams and The Cardinals released October 23, 2007. The EP contains three new songs and four live studio recordings, including a cover of "Down in a Hole" by Alice in Chains.[1] It was produced by then-Cardinals member James Candiloro.
The EP features a re-recorded version of the song "Blue Hotel", which originally appeared on Willie Nelson's "Songbird" album. "This Is It" was previously recorded for Rock n Roll, "If I Am a Stranger" for Cold Roses, and "Dear John" – which was co-written by Ryan Adams and Norah Jones – for Jacksonville City Nights.
Follow the Lights debuted at number 40 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling about 19,000 copies in its first week,[2] and reached number 16 in Italy.[citation needed]
In the UK, Follow the Lights was released as Everybody Knows, with the titular "Everybody Knows" from Easy Tiger included as an extra track. In Germany, the EP is not available individually, but was added as a bonus disc to a limited edition reissue of Easy Tiger.
The album cover is a photograph taken by guitarist Neal Casal.
