Whiskeytown was an alternative country band formed in 1994 from Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Fronted by Ryan Adams, the group included members Caitlin Cary, Phil Wandscher, Eric "Skillet" Gilmore, and Mike Daly. They disbanded in 2000 with Adams leaving to pursue his solo career. Whiskeytown gradually expanded its sound outside the confines of alternative country while still maintaining its alternative roots.

The band only released three albums, yet none of the albums feature a consistent lineup, with only Adams and Cary remaining constants.
