Biography:
Whiskeytown was an alt-country band from Raleigh, North Carolina founded in 1994 and fronted by Ryan Adams along with violinist Caitlin Cary. The band produced a number of albums before ultimately parting ways in 2000.
Other members of the group included guitarists Mike Daly and Phil Wandscher, bassist Steve Grothmann and drummer Skillet Gilmore.
Adams and Cary have publicly talked of reuniting Whiskeytown on multiple occasions, as recently as 2005, but as of yet, nothing new has materialized.

Houses on the hill
By: Whiskeytown
Intro:
C Fmaj G x2
Verse:
C Fmaj
Well I found a bunch of letters they were written for the fella
G
Who broke your Momma's heart
C Fmaj
And the envelope folds smelled of her ancient perfume
G
I'll bet she didn't know
C C/B Am
How to respond before the blankets of snow caught him out
Fmaj G C Fmaj
wandering alone with no place to go
G C
Chorus:
Fmaj G
And there were stars in the sky
C C/B Am
There were houses on the hill and there were bottles of pills
Fmaj G C Fmaj
That were easy to buy to keep her warm from the oncoming storm
G
Verse:
C Fmaj
Well I found them in the north-west corner of the attic,
G
In a box Labeled "Tinsel and Lights"
C Fmaj G
Didn't know what I was looking for, maybe just a blanket or artifacts
C
Fmaj G
Eisenhower sent him to war
C C/B Am
He kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
Fmaj G C Fmaj
and when he hit the shore he must of been a target for the gunman
G C
Chorus:
Fmaj G
There were stars in the sky
C C/B Am
And there were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill
Fmaj G C Fmaj
Where he would lie, shrouded in the red white and blue with the stripes
G C
Fmaj G
And there were stars in the sky
C C/B Am
There were houses on the hill and there were bottles of pills
Fmaj G C Fmaj
That were easy to buy to keep her warm from the oncoming storm
