Whiskeytown had ceased to be a band in the truest sense by the time they recorded their third (and final) full-length album, Pneumonia; the group began to collapse during the touring following Strangers' Almanac, with members coming and going at a remarkable pace, and for the Pneumonia sessions, the only musicians on hand who had appeared on Faithless Street three years earlier were lead vocalist and songwriter Ryan Adams and violinist and backing vocalist Caitlin Cary. Multi-instrumentalist Mike Daly and percussionist/producer Ethan Johns dominated the sessions' sprawling cast of players, with James Iha and Tommy Stinson popping up on some tracks.

Ultimately, Pneumonia sounds more like a Ryan Adams solo project than anything else, and it walks a decidedly different path than the Whiskeytown albums that preceded it -- there are no charging rockers in the manner of 'Drank Like a River' or 'Yesterday's News,' and the country twang of 'Too Drunk to Dream' or 'Someone Remembers the Rose' has receded into the background (though Cary's violin and occasional mandolin or steel guitar lines from Daly do add a high-lonesome undertow to several songs, especially the plaintive 'Sit and Listen to the Rain' and 'My Hometown'). This is easily Whiskeytown's most ambitious and eclectic work, and the sparkling pop of 'Don't Be Sad' and 'Mirror Mirror,' the lovely faux-tropicalia of 'Paper Moon,' the haunting tape-loop reverie of 'What the Devil Wanted,' and low-key power balladry of 'Crazy About You' all prove that, despite his reckless public persona, Ryan Adams had gained a wealth of maturity and intelligence (at least as a songwriter and recording artist) since the last time he'd entered a recording studio. Pneumonia was recorded in 1999, but the closing of Outpost Records in the wake of that year's Polygram/ Universal merger put the album on the shelf for two years; in the meantime, Pneumonia developed an underground reputation as a lost classic, and while that description is going a bit far to make a point, it is an undeniably striking and beautifully crafted set of songs, and it's interesting to imagine where this music would have taken Whiskeytown if the album had met its original release date -- assuming that Whiskeytown was still a band by the time the record was finished. ~ Mark Deming.

I am going to upload albums. Most of them will likely be alt country albums. They will always be very good albums. First up- The Jayhawks: Tomorrow The Green Grass. These guys were basically the other side of the coin to Uncle Tupelo, back when Alt-Country was in its infancy. The melodies are strong, and the country roots are readily apparent, but they have a more mellow rock sound than the Tupelo's intense country punk. In fact, especially considering Singer Mark Olson's alarming vocal resemblance to Gram Parsons(Check out his version of In My Hour Of Darkness if you don't believe me, it's on the tribute album') they are basically the closest thing you can get to hearing a new Gram Parsons record.

My favourite tracks are Blue, Two Hearts, and Bad Time. Listen to this. Next Up- Jayhawks, Hollywood Town Hall.

This is reverse order, sorry dudes. This record is amazing though. It came out before 'Green Grass' and I like it a little more. Of course, that could be because it's a little more country.

Where 'Grass' goes almost power pop on some tracks, 'hollywood' is pure country rock. There really isn't a bad song on this record. Mark Olson is one of the best country singers in modern times, and the music compliments his voice perfectly throughout the record.

Key Tracks- Crowded In The Wings, Two Angels, Take Me With You(When you Go). There are two kinds of upload threads. The first is like the sendspace thread; just a whole bunch of random shit that people sort though and possibly find something they are interested in hearing.

Then there is this kind which targets a specific genre of music that a lot of people are not aware of for the purpose of a more comprehenisve introduction. Now, my whole goal here was really just to get more people to listen to Alt-Country, because it is pretty much my favourite kind of music. There have been 3 or 4 upload threads before, one that was just me and E bitching and uploading stuff, one where I just uploaded albums from 2007, and one where we had a music club. In fact, even right now there is another thread with a lot of uploads in it, the Leaked albums thread, so you clearly targeted me in particular because you feel like you can get away with it. I do not really know when I ridiculed you in the past, although I am sure it happened because you are kind of lame, but attacking this thread of all things is kind of like writing negative reviews of Stanley 'Tookie' Williams' books to get back at him for something he did before he went to prison. What I am saying here is basically, fuck off, I guess.
