Found in: Music, NewsWhiskeytown's Strangers Almanac to be reissued March 4
Let us hop into the Wayback Machine and go back about a decade to a simpler time, when "Gawker" was just another rarely-used noun and Pitchfork reviews came in at under 200 words. In the heady days of 1997, David Ryan Adams was half of the duo at the heart of Whiskeytown, a precocious 22-year-old axeman with a noggin full of hooks and a taste for Grandpa's medicine.

By the time Whiskeytown hit the road... read more
