Whiskeytown's Stranger's Almanac Deluxe Reissue

Ryan Adams
Whiskeytown's Stranger's Almanac is set to be re-released as a double-disc on March 4 through Food/Outpost/Geffen/Ume. The bonus material will include unreleased Whiskeytown songs and a few cover including Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," Gram Parsons' "Luxury Liner," Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone" and the True Believers' "The Rain Won't Help You When It's Over."

The first disc will feature the original album, plus five live public radio performances. Acoustic demo versions of "16 Days," "Avenues" and "Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart" have been added to seven previously unreleased Whiskeytown songs, including "Kiss & Make-Up" and "10 Seconds."

Led by a young, 22-year-old Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown originally released Stranger's Almanac in 1997. The group, which also included Caitlin Cary and Phil Wandscher broke-up after the release of Pneumonia in 2001, with Adams pursuing a solo career he began the previous year with the album Heartbreaker.

Great, great album. I'm looking forward to hearing things with a fresh polish and Adams is always good for some amazing unreleased stuff. I hope that Faithless Street gets a similar treatment someday!

This should be a great update to an already amazing album. I too would like to see a vinyl release, or maybe an SACD release.
