Deluxe reissue of Whiskeytown album due in March

Longtime subscriber Dean Dauphinais asked, and we thought the rest of you might
be
interested as well, so here are some details about the Deluxe Edition reissue of
Whiskeytown's 1997 album Strangers Alamanac, due out March 4 via Universal.

Disc One of the two-disc set will feature the original album plus five tracks
recorded live
on Los Angeles radio station KCRW on September 10, 1997. Three of those tracks
are
album cuts ("Houses On The Hill", "Turn Around", "Somebody Remembers The Rose")
and
two were not on the album ("Nurse With The Pills", "I Don't Care What You Think
About
Me").

The 20 tracks on disc two include outtakes and alternate tracks from the
Strangers
Almanac recording sessions and demo sessions. A few of them were issued separate
from
Strangers Almanac at the time: "Theme For A Trucker", "My Heart Is Broken", and
alternate
versions of "The Strip" (a.k.a. "Dancing With The Women At The Bar") and "Houses
On The
Hill" comprised a double 7-inch gatefold release by Bloodshot Records in early
1997, and
"Ticket Time" and Alejandro Escovedo's "The Rain Won't Help You When It's Over"
were on
a limited-edition bonus EP packaged with initial pressings of the Strangers
Almanac CD.

Aside from "The Rain Won't Help You", other cover songs on Disc Two include
Fleetwood
Mac's "Dreams", Gram Parsons' "Luxury Liner", and a Ryan Adams solo version of
Johnny
Cash's "I Still Miss Someone".

Previously unreleased outtakes from the Strangers sessions featured on Disc Two
include
"Kiss & Make-Up", "Indiana Gown", "Barn's On Fire", "Whispers" (a.k.a. "Streets
Of Sirens"),
"Breathe", and "10 Seconds Till The End Of The World".

Disc Two also includes alternate studio versions of Strangers tracks "Excuse Me
While I
Break My Own Heart Tonight", "16 Days", "Somebody Remembers The Rose",
"Avenues",
and "Turn Around".
