Ryan Adams - Houses On the Hill (iTunes Session/KCRW)
I recently picked up the Ryan Adams iTunes session and noticed that Houses on the Hill was included. This song was originally performed by Ryan's band Whiskeytown and featured on their 1997 album Strangers Almanac. I was always a fan of the original, however, I never really "listened" to lyrics before. This acoustic version just seems to take it to another level.
"eisenhower sent him to war
he kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
and when he hit shore
must have been a target for the gunman"
