Their music continues to inspire artists such as Ryan Adams \u0026amp; The Cardinals and Drive-By Truckers.

The band is still steeped in the sounds of country and Gram Parsons-inspired country-rock here, but one can hear the music moving toward the pop of their final effort \u003cem\u003ePneumonia\u003c\/em\u003e. Everything still centers around the voice and excellent songwriting of Ryan Adams (who was still only 22 at the time of this album's release). The song \"16 Days,\" for example, with its breezy, open-road, country vibe and the lovely interlocking harmonies between Adams and violinist Caitlin Cary, was released as a single, and rightfully so. There is also the beautiful, melancholic weeper \"Dancing With the Women at the Bar,\" and a revisitiation of \"Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight,\" which appeared on the band's debut. Adams's talent shines so brightly here, in fact, that it is little wonder he would soon be pursuing a solo career (the internal tensions in the band would hasten its dissolution as well), but S\u003cem\u003etrangers Almanac\u003c\/em\u003e captures this fine, short-lived, alt-country band in full effect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50402029896011,"sku":"298402","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5445751d-770d-49b9-82f6-52156abfb0d5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726529262"},{"product_id":"pneumonia","title":"Pneumonia","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelebrating 25 years, \u003cem\u003ePneumonia\u003c\/em\u003e stands as an alt-country centerpiece, capturing Whiskeytown at their most expansive and iconic moment.
