    I was a rave DJ at the time Whiskeytown came about. On a road trip with my big brother to a Montana family reunion, after hours of he enduring my obnoxious break beats, it was his turn to choose the music. He put Whiskeytown, Strangers Almanac in the old disc player. That next hour or so on that drive changed my life forever.

    This song is so beautiful it belongs in a museum. I was fortunate enough to show up one night in about 1999 at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle and see them perform. They started out with 16 days. Closed playing Fleetwood Mac. I listened to Strangers Almanac every day for a year. It changed me, there is no question. This song drips with the soul of so many.....

    This might be my favorite Whiskeytown song. I was lucky enough to see then on tour before Ryan went solo

      Dunno if anyone cares but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies and series on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother these days :)

    Caitlin's violin and harmonies are a big part of why this song is so great.

    A very underrated band. I remember a friend giving me this album. Nobody was interested . Years later those same people were raving about Ryan Adams and asked had I heard of him. Ha ha .

    Ryan Adams is the man. But the emotion in these whiskeytown tracks before he went solo was different. Miss this shit.

      I don't recall a full show. When it originally aired what I remember was the Old 97s being the other band. That said, their entire performance (as opposed the half hour that aired) is online or at least used to be.

    Well I found a bunch of letters
    Written for the fellow who broke your momma's heart
    And the envelope folds smelled of her ancient perfume
    I'll bet she didn't know
    How to respond before the blankets of snow
    Caught him out wandering alone
    With no place to go
    There were stars in the sky
    There were houses on the hill
    And there were bottles of pills that were easy to buy
    Keeping her warm from the oncoming storm
    Well I found them in the northwest corner of the attic in a box
    Labeled tinsel and lights
    Didn't know what I was I looking for
    Maybe just a blanket or artifacts
    Eisenhower sent him to war
    He kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
    And when he hit shore
    Must have been a target for the gunmen
    There were stars in the sky
    There were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill
    Where he would lie
    Shrouded in the red white and blue with the stripes
    There were stars in the sky
    There were houses on the hill
    And there were bottles of pills that were easy to buy
    To keep her warm from the oncoming storm

    Heart wrenching lyrics and a soulful melody. I don't think song writing gets much better. Question: most comments assume this is a story of WW2, but I think it's Korea... Eisenhower sent him to war... Presidents send men to war, generals send them to battle. Am I reading the lyrics too closely?

    • @Philmod68
      @Philmod68 7 років тому +6

      When i first heard this song....i right away assumed it was about Korea. Yeah....Eisenhower was president at the time. I'm a history freak....so i'm very touchy about things related to history. I don't know WHERE someone would get World War 2....because then either Roosevelt or Truman would have had to "send him to war". Plus it would make sense if the friends' mom's lover was during the Korean War....because she would be old enough to be the friends' mom's age. Otherwise...he would have to say...."the fella that broke your GRANDMAS heart" hahaha

    • @aidanlondregan1697

      Guys Eisenhower was the supreme allied commander in Europe during World War 2. He was responsible for carrying out the allied invasion of France. So He is saying "Eisenhower sent him to war" The general sent him to the beaches of Normandy.

    • @bertlloyd2990
      @bertlloyd2990 Рік тому

      Probably just because Roosevelt or Truman don't fit the meter as well, historicity is not the point

      whentherope Yes they have split and get this she wants "PET SUPPORT" from Ryan. Filed in California so who knows? Fucking Pet Support.

    • @whentherope
      @whentherope 8 років тому +1

      I can understand wanting joint custody* (weed joke) but pet support is interesting, especially in this case bc she seemed to be the one with the deepest pockets. Ryan has a solid fan base and has done well for himself financially but definitely not wealthy as you and I believe he deserves to be. Catch 22 in where you want your favorites to be rewarded but you don't want them to be too mainstream
