I used the Pneumonia pre-release promo LP mix sans "Easy Hearts", "Bar Lights" and "To Be Evil". If Ryan Adams hadn't taken two years to finish the production with Ethan Johns. The released version on Lost Highway in 2001 was supposed to have twenty songs across a 2xLP set--it was negotiated down to 16 (wouldn't be the first time--lol). The other songs from the sessions "Tilt-A-Whirl", "Choked Up", "Tell Me What Else Can I Do Wrong Tonight", "Listen to the Radio", "In My Time of Need", "A Song For You" (not the same version on the GP tribute) and one song that has not circulated--"Bring Me Down"; probably a loud rock number like "Revenge"...A six-track E.P. was to be released titled Deserters; as a companion disc (to appease RA--no doubt). They did---and they didn't.

Originally was intended to be part of the 20-song double LP RA intended. Add "Tilt-A-Whirl", "Choked Up", "Tell Me What Else I Can Do Wrong Tonight", "In My Time of Need"--and two songs that are NOT circulating "Listen to the Radio" and "Bring Me Down"; sources for the latter were taken from The AnsweringBell.org site from back in the day. I substituted the Exile demo of "Listen to the Radio" and the band's cover of "A Song For You" (also taken from the sessions). I close it out with the beautiful duet between Ryan and Caitlin ("The Battle"); which I think ended up on her solo debut E.P. or the subsequent album, While You Weren't' Looking.
