Whiskeytown’s seminal Strangers Almanac will be re-released in a two-disc, deluxe edition on March 4 by Mood Food/Outpost/Geffen/Um (whoa, a lot of fingers in that pie!) The expanded edition will be the usual drill: some previously unreleased tracks, some live cuts, and some demos. The Seattle connection, of course, is Phil Wandscher, who was Whiskeytown’s guitar slinger at the time, and has now put his unmistakeable stamp on three albums by Ballard’s own Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter. Bonus tracks include several cover songs, including Ryan Adams giving us his take on Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” Adams reinvented Oasis’ “Wonderwall” to stunning effect; let’s see if he can do the same with Stevie Nicks. Wagers?
