Music Friday: "Losering"

One of these days this week I listened to Whiskeytown's Strangers Almanac. 

Here's a straghtforward song from that opus. 

Music Friday: "Tennessee Square"

I haven't listend to Whiskeytown in a while.

Here's a gem from the fine alt-country classic album Faithless Street. 

Music Friday: "16 Days" & "Houses on the Hill"

I've been listening to Faithless Street and Strangers Almanac from Whiskeytown over this past week.

Both albums relate tales of woe, heartbreak, personal demons, and loneliness. One of my favorite songs on Faithless Street is "Tennessee Square," a tune with this line: "Vacant parking lots across the street remind me I'm going nowhere."

But there aren't many videos of this band out there on the Intertube. The band only lasted six years, 1994-2000, and Faithless Street didn't come out until 1996. Ryan Adams went the solo artist route, and one of the more influential bands of the alt-country genre was gone.

So today I offer some footage of the band playing "16 Days" in St. Louis.





The second featured song is a video that a fan created for "Houses on the Hill."

Music Friday: "Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart"

Oh, and the video also features Beatle Bob.
