ryan adams. whiskeytown. 16 days live

[@ronbo11]

This is one of those songs that just jumped out of my car radio and made me pull into a Barnes&Noble to try to find out who the artist was and what the album was called. It's a stone cold classic in my book and "Stranger's Almanac" was the album that opened my eyes up to the Americana scene and remains one of my all-time favorites. I saw them on this tour and I loved the performance although Ryan was very confrontational with the audience (some SMU frat boys who he called "Old 97s fans").

Ryan's one of the best. Man, what I'd give to be up playing guitar on that stage with him...

[@JustJake57]

Saw him last nite in Philly. 16 Days - acoustic. It's all so good. Thanks RA.

[@budfanno8]

This is the first time I've seen this. I've known for years that they had been on ACL but I never could find it anywhere. Thanks for this!

He did a bunch of Whiskeytown songs in Baltimore including this one, Avenues, Houses on the Hill and Jacksonvile Skyline. Fabulous stuff. Really as good as his stuff with the Cardinals if not better.

Caitlin Cary on fiddle & backing vocals, great Raleigh based band

[@maevestarsgoblue]

Ryan played this song last night in Dublin, Ireland as part of his 'Acoustic Nightmare' show. It stole the show.

I lived in Dallas from 88-08 and saw Rhett grow from pretty boy teen throb with a guitar and face...to the different parts of his journey to the great O97s...seen the band many times...Been a fan of RA since these Whiskeytown days and seen the growth up to marrying Candy GIrl Mandy Moore...Ryan is the bigger talent, but who can he compare with...But downplay the O97s they just are doing what they do and they do it well...

This is from the Austin City Limits telecast on Jan. 26, 1998. I believe they did 6 tunes -- this was the 1st one. It's the later-Whiskeytown (not as good) lineup, with Jen Snyder & Ed Crawford on bass & lead guitar.

[@smashingpumpkins4]

Absolutely gorgeous.

[@turtlemoye1]

Caitlin Cary is her name and she has a new band called the Small Ponds in NC.

[@KevinMacCash]

goin back you get a good idea what made Ryan such a sensation.

[@TheBloodback]

lets not forget "edfromohio" on guitar and backup vocals......

[@Elrond54]

Great find!

[@brandtus]

I whole hardheartedly agree...the best ever of anything!

[@cmm30]

Whiskeytown not Ryan Adams solo and its Jenni Snyder not Cathrine Popper

[@NVKings]

Ed from Ohio is cool.

[@ewokonline]

It's not Cat Popper. It's Jenni Snyder.

[@liljgoneman]

ronbo thats too bad but no surprise he doesnt like O97 or their many legions of fans. Adams is a textbook enfant terrible from the Mozart school: Equal parts fantastic talent, bad temper & childish insecurity who prolly thinks O97/Rhett Miller's brand of radio roots rock caters only to the peasant/frat boy masses. I'm OK with it because ima huge fan of both Adams' career and of the bottle-fed, party-on 97s, so...yeah. Good talk.
