Stanger's Almanac


I am very excited about the trend of remastering and re-releasing albums, especially when they are loaded with all sorts of extras. The Cure has been doing this with their entire catalog in waves. This year the extended versions of Disintegration and Wish are set to arrive. I can't wait. At the end of this month Whiskeytown - Stranger's Almanac will be re-released as a double disc. This album launched my interest in Ryan Adams as well as Alt. Country music. To this day, it remains in my top five favorite albums of all time. Much of the extra material consists of songs that I have heard before, but have never had high quality recordings of. I'm sure that there will be a review posted in the weeks to come.
