The Ryan Adams band member carousel continues to turn (July, 2019) but no matter who lines up with and plays his songs, wondrous results. Thanks RA and all band members for so much fine music.
"...every now and then.....if you stop from your busy day and take a moment, you might hear something really fine....................this, is such a moment♫.
This is a Carolina Reel - one of the best songs I think I've ever heard - and a proof that Ryan is a goddamned genius. This is a song I love to sit & play on my front porch, I don't even notice I'm getting chewed up by mosquitoes while I'm playing it - I've played this at shows and it makes people cry, and I'm no Ryan Adams.
Clearly there is something personal to Ryan in this song. He is speaking to someone he knows, though it doesn't really matter whom. Like an electric current, it touches us directly, in a way he can't transmit anymore, locked up in his studio in San Francisco or wherever he spends his days. Please come back to us Ryan.
+Keith Gemeinhart You'll have to fill in some blanks, but there are really just three main aspects to focus on with this song: (1) Play around with the D chord, pulling off and hammering on the (3rd string) G to A and (4th string) D to E with your index finger. (2) Followed by the cool sliding double-stop progression: (3rd-string ) slide A->B, (2nd string) D, (3rd string) slide B->A, pull-off-and-hammer-on (3rd string) A to G to A, (4th string) D. Strum D chord, hammering on (1st string E to F#)... Hard to explain but if you mess with it, you'll figure it out. (3) The rest is basically just G, G/F#, Em, and A/A7 for the verse ("Oh the factory girl she listens"), and C, G, and D for the chorus ("And I don't know where she it, lyin' in her mother's bed..." A least I guess you'd call it the chorus.) It's really deceptively easy once you figure it out... though it took me a LONG time to have an epiphany on it. I could have sworn he was doing some kind of alt tuning, but it's just standard tuning.
Yeah, it's a shame the commies forced Ryan Adams to treat women (and people in general) like shit for a few decades. Clearly they're to blame for the fact he's a spoiled, privileged asshole. Oh, and the fact most of the people who used to work with him have nothing good to say about the experience is probably someone else's fault, too.
This song will always be one of my favorite Whiskeytown songs. I lived in a city across the border from North Carolina which had a textile mill (factory). It was the life blood of the city and employed a ton of people. Then the CEOs started shipping the industry overseas. The city's lifeblood was lost. The same thing happened to the mills in North Carolina, too. I often wondered about the thought process with this song.
I wish i could go back in time to when i first heard this album.
I think this might be the best song I've ever heard.
This is an adaptation of an English trad folk song. Check it out . x
dammit. 20 years later. still makes me cry.

after all these years I still get chills at 2:25 ... this is one of those songs for life !!
100% agree.
Has a nice Neil Young feel right in there.
Whiskeytown was a great band. Thanks for uploading! The picture isn't whiskeytown, that's the Cardinals(first lineup).

Do you have a tab that you could post or a link to one?
No, but I'll try to remember to make one when I get home.
Thanks!

One of my favorite songs ever.....
Thanks for uploading this mate! I've been looking for it on here for so long. You sir, are a hero.
This is a version of an English traditional song also called The Factory Girl.
The photo is of the original Cardinals not Whiskeytown.🤩

still makes me sigh, with a broken back and bad veins that hurt from standing up and falling down.
+jenaphura1974 Nicely said. Me too...
+Enzo Feldspar thanks for your reply... just needed to sigh over the daily meal, yogurt and heartache

This band was so fucking good, I really wish they were still together, but I guess they burned bright and short.

I feel sorry for the four dislikers
Haha, right, what a foursome of miserable Fs.
I thought this was going to be a cover of the Stones tune Factory Girl. Oh well. Still, it's a pleasant tune.
he is the country E.
Any luck on finding a tab for this?

@@chrisostrom1099 make a tab?
Chris is right. It's built off a D chord, but it's probably difficult to tab. When I listen, I hear at least two guitars, and maybe three.
I lied to the money tree once for 450.00 bucks because of how dangerous i was at yhe rtf. is why my citizenship is in question
Who cares what at 14 something like that i bet im right
What the leftist liberal community has done to Ryan Adams is a complete disgrace! Unreal how disgraceful they are treating this artist!
He has risen above it😎
@@flyingburritobro68 by the way, the flying burrito Brothers are an awesome band 👍
@@Nick-fi1mcYea especially the Gilded Palace Of Sin album which was recorded in 68 and released in early 69😎
