Free Music Notes for Faithless Street
Free Music Review: One of my favorites
Hit: 5 Stars
This album was recorded in the summer of 1995. In my opinion it's an alt-country classic, and it introduced me to some of the best music I've heard. I love all of Whiskeytown's albums, and Ryan Adams' and Caitlin Cary's solo work as well. This album (their first) has a special place in my heart. The music here is gritty, honest and beautiful. The album is introspective all around, especially on songs like "Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight", "If He Can't Have You", "Desperate Ain't Lonely", and others. The album was re-released in 1998 with bonus tracks, and it remains as one of their best albums.Free Music Review: best Whiskeytown album
Hit: 5 Stars
I own all the Whiskeytown albums, and while Strangers Almanac will always hold a special place as my first Whiskeytown album, Faithless Street is hands down the best. its raw enough to highlight their unique sound and Adams' songwriting, but cleaned up enough (as described above) to sound great.
Yes, its best appreciated when listening in a melancholy mood, preferably with a drink in hand. But its also a good album to have in the car for driving at night, just cruising. Truly solid Alt country, and in my opinion, the best in the business.
Free Music Review: Great Alt-Country and more
Hit: 5 Stars
Being an "alt-country" devotee, I was happy to discover Whiskeytown. The first half (or more) of the album is heavily country influenced, but the last few songs are more rock-influenced. Both are wonderful. Very well written songs and great deliverty. Somne of the songs remind me of Wilco, some remind of me of The Replacements, both are high compliments to any band in my opinion.Ryan Adams must be placed up there with Tweedy as one of the best songwriters out there right now. Get this album.
Free Music Review: A top five record of the 90's
Hit: 5 Stars
The songs and performances on this album are so good that it is frightening. Virtually every song is outstanding and there are 7-8 instant classics which could rival anything in the catalogues of Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, George Jones, Gram Parson or any country great you can name. Seriously. To be able to get 21 songs of this quality by one band for the money is almost criminal. These guys leave the other No Depression bands oh-so far behind in their gravel road dust.Free Music Review: Not just for the No Depression crowd ...
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not a big fan of Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, or Wilco (I'm more of a Steve Earle/Rolling Stones/Replacements fan) -- but this CD has got its claws in me but GOOD. Top-notch songwriting, great arrangements, ace musicianship, beautiful melodies, and haunting harmonies all make this a must-have. You know those releases that you buy on a whim, and that profoundly change your musical outlook, that you can't take out of the CD player for months? This is one of 'em.
