Whiskeytown - Pneumonia flac album

As I hinted, Pneumonia sounds more like a Ryan Adams solo effort than a Whiskeytown album. Of course, Whiskeytown has undergone so many changes since their 1996 debut, Faithless Street, that Adams, the lead songwriter and vocalist, and fiddler Caitlin Cary are the only original members remaining. But the "Whiskeytown sound," if it can be said to exist- some call it Uncle Tupelo meets the Replacements- is hard to find amidst this cleaner, simpler sound.

Whiskeytown was an American rock/alternative country band formed in 1994 from Raleigh, North Carolina. Fronted by Ryan Adams, the group included members Caitlin Cary, Phil Wandscher, Eric "Skillet" Gilmore, and Mike Daly. They disbanded in 2000 with Adams leaving to pursue his solo career. Whiskeytown gradually expanded its sound outside the confines of alternative country while still maintaining its alternative roots.

In their brief, volatile tenure as a working band-which spawned just two proper albums, Faithless Street (1995) and Strangers Almanac (1997)-Whiskeytown never quite fulfilled their considerable promise. But prior to their ultimate split, the band made a record that was buried for nearly three years by industry snafus. Pneumonia was well worth the wait. Whiskeytown's "Pneumonia" suffers from a lack of substantial songwriting- whereas they were going for more of a pop sound on this album, the brilliant melodies required of any great album just aren't there.
