The theme of home – leaving, homesickness, returning – runs throughout. More polished and less emotional than last year's 'Heartbreaker' (Adam's official debut solo album), there's much to treasure on 'Pneumonia'. Now it's out and on the shelves of your record shop, was it worth waiting for? The answer has to be a resounding yes.īuilt around the Whiskeytown core trio of Ryan Adams (guitar/vocals), multi-instrumentalist Mike Daly and fiddle-player Caitlin Cary, 'Pneumonia' seems more like a solo effort by Adams than a band album proper. Recorded by the alt-country band Whiskeytown before their demise in 1999, it remained in record-label limbo for three years. For a while it looked like 'Pneumonia' was going to turn into one of the those legendary lost albums.
