While countless local bands and clubs have come and gone over the past three decades, one rare constant is Duck Kee Studio, whose client list reads like a timeline of Triangle music history. Ryan Adams’ band Patty Duke Syndrome (before he formed Whiskeytown) made one of the great unreleased albums in local-music history at Duck Kee in 1993.

Ryan Adams

The singer-songwriter and producer is fresh off the release of “Prisoner,” an album full of heartbreak songs that he recorded during his divorce from actress and singer Mandy Moore. In an interview with Lil Bub (because cats interviewing famous musicians exists on the internet), Adams said, “I was reflecting on the different states of desire, and what it means to be a prisoner of your own desire.”
