Free Music Notes for Pneumonia
Free Music Review: Swan Song
Hit: 5 Stars
By the time PNEUMONIA had been recorded, Whiskeytown had been through a number of changes. The band started to break up while touring for their STRANGERS ALMANAC album. The only members who were from the original group that appear on this disc were lead vocalist Ryan Adams and Caitlin Cary. Other members on this disc included Mike Daly, Ethan Johns, with James Iha and Tommy Stinson appearing on a few tracks.
The album is very different from the bands first two. There's no real loud rockers, or the country twang of certain songs you'd find on their first two albums. Instead this sounds more like a Ryan Adams solo album in some ways. Still, this is their most ambitious effort.
There's some great pop moments like "Mirror Mirror", and "Dno't Be Sad". "What The Devil Wanted" is a haunting song, and "Crazy About You" is a low key ballad. The album proved that Ryan Adams had matured in his songwriting, and overall music. Other highlights include "Reasons To Lie", "Don't Wanna Know Why", "Sit And Listen To The Rain", "My Hometown", and many others.
This album was recorded in 1999, but not released until 2001 because the Outpost label folded. Nevertheless, it's a fine piece of music, and one of their best. It's a fine swan song for the band, it makes one wonder if it had been originally released in 1999 what would have happened to the band, or if they would have even still been together.
Pneumonia Poster
U.S. double vinyl LP pressing. 2001 album from the Alt-Country/Americana band featuring Ryan Adams.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. The band's final lineup (singer and songwriter Ryan Adams, violinist Caitlin Cary, and guitarist Mike Daly) is augmented by special guests such as Tommy Stinson of the Replacements and James Iha of Smashing Pumpkins. Sure, Adams doesn't quite grasp what he's reaching for on the Latin-tinged "Paper Moon," and "Sit & Listen to the Rain" is about as exciting as its title suggests. But "Jacksonville Skyline," a hometown ode that's sweetly nostalgic but hardly naive, easily ranks among Adams's best ballads. And don't bother trying to elude the hooks of the bouncy kiss-off "Don't Wanna Know Why" or the polished piano pop of "Mirror, Mirror." While it's unfortunate that the reliably unreliable Whiskeytown didn't live to see the release of their most consistent disc, Pneumonia is a harbinger of still better things to come from both Adams and Cary. --Anders Smith-Lindall
