Whiskeytown
Whiskeytown was an alternative country band formed in 1994 from Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Fronted by Ryan Adams, the group included members Caitlin Cary, Phil Wandscher, Eric "Skillet" Gilmore, and Mike Daly. They disbanded in 2000 with Adams leaving to pursue his solo career. Whiskeytown gradually expanded its sound outside the confines of alternative country while still maintaining its alternative roots.
The band only released three albums, yet none of the albums feature a consistent lineup, with only Adams and Cary remaining constants.
History
Whiskeytown began in 1994 in Raleigh, North Carolina. After performing punk rock with a band called The Patty Duke Syndrome, Adams found inspiration in the country-rock of Gram Parsons, and started a band with violinist Caitlin Cary, drummer Eric "Skillet" Gilmore, bassist Steve Grothman and guitarist Phil Wandscher.
Faithless Street era (1995–1996)
Faithless Street, released on Mood Food Records in 1996, established the band as one of the genre's leaders, thanks to glowing reviews in publications such as No Depression, and helped the band score a major-label record deal with the Geffen Records imprint Outpost.

Give Me Another Chance
by: WhiskeytownYou feel sad 'cause I got mad
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Things I said made things seem bad
But don't worry
'Cause it's gonna be alright now
It'll be okay
You know I just don't think
Before I speak
I've been looking for to find
Something to believe in my mind
And I thought it was you
All this time since you've been mine
I've been angry, so angry
Made it known I could make it alone
But I'm changing
And I'm gonna be alright now
Be okay
You know I just woke up
And I see the way
Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's me that's wrong at last
Give me another chance
It's so hard just to stay alive each day
I really can't go on this way, oh no, oh no
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's the end, it's wrong at last
