	Son Volt: Okemah And The Melody Of Riot (2005): Reviews
		Okemah is heady stuff, to be sure, but it's also one of the year's best straight-up rock albums.
		While Okemah is clearly driven by Farrar's vision, it suitably develops Son Volt's sound, bringing it clearly into the mid-2000s while giving a nod toward the influences of bygone days that have always been a factor in Son Volt's alt-country tendencies.
		Okemah and the Melody of Riot is an intelligent, aggressive album that acts as a sorely needed kick in the ass to the entire Americana/alt.country genre.

	Kevin Bowe and the Okemah Prophets
		The Okemah Prophets (Oh-kee-mah) are a group of loose cannons out of Minneapolis, led by singer/songwriter Kevin Bowe.
		The group came together for a showcase of Kevin’s songs at SXSW ’98 in Austin, Texas.
		Mixing influences like Steve Earle, The Replacements and The Byrds, the Okemah Prophets have their hearts in what some call Americana or alt.country music, but their energy level, their complete disregard for "music politics", their original playing style, gut-wrenching songwriting and diversity of roots influences make this band impossible to pin down.

	Son Volt: Okemah and the Melody of Riot - PopMatters Music Review
		On Okemah and the Melody of Riot, the first new Son Volt album in seven years, you basically have to forgive Farrar for disbanding the original group and just get over it, because Okemah boasts some of his best songs ever.
		From the use of Guthrie's birthplace (Okemah, Oklahoma) in the album's title to its opening track "Bandages and Scars" ("The words of Woody Guthrie ringing in my head"), it's clear where Farrar's head is at and where he's going to take us.
		Okemah and the Melody of Riot is a fine return to form from a true original.

		When Charlie left Okemah in the wake of his injury, he took the two younger children, Mary Jo and George; but both Woody and his older brother Roy remained behind to fend for themselves.

		While Okemah sure sounds and feels like a Son Volt album; as it happens, Farrar is the only musician in the band's new lineup who had ever played with Son Volt before, which for good or ill firmly establishes him as the sole architect of the group's musical approach.
		And while Farrar's solo albums had an unfortunate habit of meandering, Okemah thankfully sounds muscular and driven, with Farrar and Brad Rice bringing a healthy share of guitar firepower to the songs, and bassist Andrew DuPlantis and drummer Dave Bryson charging the songs with lean but sinewy force.

		The wiry, countrified rawk on Son Volt's Okemah and the Melody of Riot warrants nonviolent listening.
		Toward the end of the 13-track Okemah are two op-ed pieces on the deteriorating state of popular music.
