Caitlin Cary is number 2 on the Freeform American Roots Chart for March. It is a wonderful album. She was the fiddle player for the band Whiskeytown before it ceased to exist. Oh well. Good things come and go. If they stay around too long, they stagnate, however Whiskeytown had another album or two to go before that could have happened. Was it Ryans fault or the record people? Who knows, both parties are pricks.
Ryan Adams did have one redeeming moment in my eyes. The only time I ever met him was at SXSW-2001. We met him in line at the Bloodshot show. JD shoved his cell phone in Ryans face and asked him to say hi to his ex-girlfriend. Ryan was cool about it. That was nice.
Anyway, back to the CD.
At first, I was never really impressed by her playing. Technically (at least what was captured in the studio) it was not super impressive, but style wise it was great. (Im not really super technical myself…Style and soul are more important. I have lifted a few chops from her works).
I never really found out how much off a hand she hand in the Whiskeytown songs, but her solo album is great. I have an incredible respect for her as an artist.
