"Pneumonia" is an album by the alternative country band Whiskeytown, released in 2001.cite book |last=Heatley |first=Michael |authorlink= Michael Heatley |title= "Ryan Adams" |year=2003 |publisher=Omnibus Press |isbn=0711994358 |pages=166]

The album is noted for its troubled history which saw the band lose its record deal in the midst of the merger between Polygram and Universal,cite book |last=Heatley |first=Michael |authorlink= Michael Heatley |title= "Ryan Adams" |year=2003 |publisher=Omnibus Press |isbn=0711994358 |pages=88-89] [cite web|url=http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/23146-pneumonia|title=Whiskeytown: Pneumonia|first=Ryan|last= Kearney|date=1999-12-31|accessdate=2008-07-08|publisher=Pitchfork Media] and the already volatile band fell apart as a result. The album sat on the shelf for nearly two years, was bootlegged heavily and gained a reputation as a great "lost" record from fans, before getting released by Lost Highway Records as something of an appetizer for Ryan Adams' 2001 album Gold.
