"Yesterday's News" is a song by alternative country band Whiskeytown, co-written by Ryan Adams and Phil Wandscher.
It first appeared on Whiskeytown's Strangers Almanac album, and was released in 1998 as a CD single.
It sounds younger and freer than the one on Strangers Almanac, a little bit faster and louder.
Phil put a space-echo on the solo, and he talks underneath me in the choruses.
I had just written the song when we recorded it with Chris [Stamey] for the Baseball Park Sessions.
