Album Notes
This is an Enhanced CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Whiskeytown: Ryan Adams (vocals, guitar, piano, harmonica); Mike Daly (guitar, pedal steel & lap steel guitars, dulcimer, mandolin, keyboards, background vocals); Brad Rice (guitar); Caitlin Cary (fiddle, background vocals).Additional personnel: Tommy Stinson (guitar, dobro); Ethan Johns (guitar, mandolin, keyboards, bass, drums, percussion); James Iha (guitar, background vocals); Richard Causon (keyboards); James "Jumbo" Aumonier (celeste); Jennifer Causon (bass).Principally recorded at Dreamland Studios, West Hurley, New York.Though Whiskeytown singer Ryan Adams has been anointed by the NO DEPRESSION set as the Bob Dylan of alt-country, his non-world-shaking solo debut proved that despite the boy wonder's talents, Whiskeytown is very much a band. That fact is amply borne out by PNEUMONIA, which strolls amiably down the neo-Americana highway with taste and modest invention (no mean feat in that crowded field). The opener "Ballad of Carol Lynn" suggests nothing so much as Steve Forbert fronting the STAGE FRIGHT-era Band. "Don't Be Sad" answers the question "what would Oasis sound like as an open-hearted American country-rock band?" "Under Your Breath" is a quiet, folkie number reminiscent of Adams's solo work."Mirror, Mirror" gets decidely Beatlesque, while "Paper Moon" goes for a Cuban-flavored feel. Despite all these stylistic detours, though, the main course plotted on PNEUMONIA is a sunny, jangly roots-rock expansive enough to encompass all the aforementioned influences and Adams's lyrical concerns while still maintaing a common sonic thread.
