Whiskeytown Pneumonia on 2LP
10th Anniversary Edition Vinyl from Lost Highway
In celebration of their 10-year anniversary, Lost Highway Records is releasing twenty of their most acclaimed albums including, Whiskeytown's Pneumonia on limited edition clear vinyl. These special pressings will be available each month throughout 2011.
Pneumonia (2001) turned out to be the swan song effort for Whiskeytown, which had released two critically acclaimed albums, Faithless Street and Stranger's Almanac, for the Outpost/Geffen label during the late '90s. The albums placed the North Carolina-based band at the forefront of the "No Depression" alternative-country movement, although the band became almost as well known for Adams' Replacements-like antics as they were for his brilliant songs.
Recorded after several original Whiskeytown members had left the band, the album became a labor of love for the remaining crew and went through many changes and incarnations. The sequencing changed numerous times. The album was originally intended to be a double set, much like Wilco's Being There (in fact, one of the original working titles for Pneumonia was Doing That). The album was originally mixed by Outpost's house producer and co-owner Scott Litt before Adams went back into the studio to mix the current, officially-released version with Ethan Johns.
