Freightwhaler was a short-lived side project for Ryan Adams and some friends from North Carolina and Georgia. They played at most 4 or 5 shows, all in early 1996. Skillet and Nicholas were in Whiskeytown at the time, Sloane and Chris were in Ithica Gin (at least I think Chris was in that band). Ryan was writing a lot of songs back then, Whiskeytown fans will know "Bar Lights" but as far as I know all the other songs were were unique to this brief period. FYI, the guy razzing them from the audience ("Play faster! Play harder!") was Phil Wandscher from Whiskeytown. On this night I clipped the little CSB microphones to the ceiling and ran a cable back to my DAT deck at the soundboard. I was still experimenting with this and used a cheap, unshielded Radio Shack cable and as a result there was very noticeable hum that I was able to reduce (but not eliminate) in iZotope. The original recording has really nice stereo separation but was very bass-heavy (legendary Raleigh sound engineer Jac Cain wanted everyone to feel the bass drum thump deep within their chest), and to my ears was improved quite a bit with some light EQ. Sample provided. mrpember, April 2021 vanillag NOTES (1/4/2022): --HUGE thanks to mrpember for recording & sharing this beauty from his master & reworking it!! --lineup that evening (from start to finish) was: Two Dollar Pistols; Freightwhaler; Old 97's --There seems to be no real consensus on whether this band's name was spelled 'Freightwhaler' or 'Freight Whaler'...even the wikipedia page for their unreleased album splits the difference, listing the album as "The Freightwhaler Sessions" & the band as "Freight Whaler' & also 'Freightwhaler (Freight Whaler)'. So, I guess it doesn't really matter, but I'm gonna defer to mrpember's expertise here & stick with 'Freightwhaler'. --https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Freightwhaler_Sessions --added the ffp fingerprints to the text file --added pictures of the venue
