Whiskeytown was an alt-country band from Raleigh, North Carolina founded in 1994 and fronted by Ryan Adams along with violinist Caitlin Cary. The band produced a number of albums before ultimately parting ways in 2000.
Other members of the group included guitarists Mike Daly and Phil Wandscher, bassist Steve Grothmann and drummer Skillet Gilmore.
Adams and Cary have publicly talked of reuniting Whiskeytown on multiple occasions, as recently as 2005, but as of yet, nothing new has materialized. The two did perform together briefly, along with Skillet Gilmore, on June 8, 2005, in Raleigh.
Major recordings include:
Faithless Street (Mood Food, 1995) which was later reissued with additional tracks and a new mix.
Strangers Almanac (Outpost, 1997).
Pneumonia (Lost Highway, 2001) the band’s swan song, which Adams labored over for two years before its release, by which time the group had split up.
The EP Rural Free Delivery (Mood Food, 1997) collects unreleased tracks from the early days and is apparently reviled by Adams.
Additionally, the band’s music appears on various soundtracks and compilations.

Hey guys- Rhett Miller (the lead singer of the Old 97's) just released his newest solo album yesterday and everyone should check it out. It has some really strong tracks that everyone will enjoy and Rolling Stone is even calling it "his strongest solo set ever." Be sure to pick it up, and check out Rhett on tour this summer.

RA's full of what makes the "Cold Roses" grow up tall and strong! Doesn't make me like the music less... perversely maybe even more. I love Whiskeytown, maybe cos a few other folks' hearts were in it as well. I'd really recommend Caitlin Cary's duets with Thad Cockrell on "Begonias" if you feel like spending the evening crying into a big glass of whisk(e)y!
