Rural Free Delivery (1997)
by Whiskeytown
Moodfood Records - MFR008-2 - 06/05/1997
Rural Free Delivery is an EP by the alternative country band Whiskeytown, released by Mood Food Records in 1997. It compiles the 4 songs from the band's debut EP Angels - recorded in a single day - with 4 additional outtakes from the same session.[1] Although the music was recorded in 1995 - just a few months after Whiskeytown formed - it wasn't released until two years later. This was part of a deal worked out with Mood Food to release the band from their current contract so that they could sign with Outpost Recordings.
The EP contains a hidden track - an alternate, longer mix of "Nervous Breakdown". But unlike typical hidden tracks (often located at the end of an album), this one is located at the beginning of the CD. To access it, go to the very beginning of the first song on the CD, then scan backwards for 3:15, and press play.
