In 1994 he formed Whiskeytown. As Adams would famously declare in the group’s musical manifesto “Faithless Street”: “I started this damn country band, ‘cause punk rock was too hard to sing.” Today Adams says the foundational conceit behind the band was a pose — something his more strident critics accused him of at the time. “There’s this wrong idea about me being identified with things that are Southern or country,” he notes. “I do not fucking like country music and I don’t own any of it. I watched Hee-Haw as a kid with my grandmother, I only like country music as an irony. I liked it when I would get drunk.”
And yet, Adams excelled at writing songs that captured the downbeat essence of the genre: small-town picaresques, studies of drunken ennui, tales of soured romance. “I suppose playing country music felt like learning how to build a beautiful bookshelf or something,” he says. “There was a certain amount of honesty that had to be there and it had to hurt. I loved the discipline of that. It reminded me of the challenge of playing punk rock. But me playing country music … it was a false face. It was style appropriation.”
what was that leaked album that got out a few years ago? maybe around 2009. it was under a different name but had a bunch of tracks that ended up on III/V? I know sewers at the bottom of the wishing well was on it. If I remember correctly, Ryan may have leaked it through his paxam website under a different name. Anyone recall?
Ryan blocked me from his fb page for saying Warrant's 80s smash hit Cherry Pie was sexist. I think it's safe to say he's into a lot of bad music and probably doesn't regard country as anything other than a means to an end for him.

I'm not sure how anyone can say a tongue in cheek song is sexist. Looking at the lyrics, where is the sexism? It doesn't put down women in any way.
