	Son Volt - PopMatters Concert Review
		"Son Volt vs. Wilco" was the headline last week in one of Boulder's daily newspapers heralding the concurrent arrival of the two groups to the area.
		Wilco and Son Volt simply came to town to play their respective gigs-the former at the massive Red Rocks Amphitheater and the latter at the decidedly less massive Fox Theatre.
		The Son Volt that took the stage at the Fox Theatre was not the same one that played on the band's three '90s albums.

		For Son Volt, Farrar recovered drummer Mike Heidorn, who had left Uncle Tupelo after the third album, and enlisted brothers Jim (bass) and Dave (guitar, fiddle, banjo, etc.) Boquist, who had previously worked with Joe Henry.
		It was hard not to notice that he and Tweedy both shifted to more tricked-up, deconstructed regions in 2000 — the latter in recording Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Farrar with his solo debut, Sebastopol, which received none of that lauded record's fanfare.
		After a six-year break for his solo career, Farrar got the itch to start rocking again, and reconvened Son Volt in the spring of 2004 to record a track for the Alejandro Escovedo tribute Por Vida.

		WHEN Son Volt's Jay Farrar decided to record with his alt-country band after a four-year breather, there was just one problem - his former bandmates weren't there to be reunited.
		The son of a Mississippi river barge worker, Farrar used to strum in the St. Louis suburb of Bellville, Ill., just across the river from St. Louis, where he was raised.
		Three Son Volt albums later, Farrar put Son Volt on the back burner after he began a family in 2000.

	Biography
		In America, of course, the Mississippi River is that bloodline, and the music of Son Volt - found on the band's Warner Bros. Records debut Trace - taps into the river's rich vein for its power and its poetry.
		After Farrar added a familiar face to Son Volt by calling former Tupelo drummer Mike Heidorn, the group was ready to record Trace in a studio in Northfield, Minnesota in late 1994.
		There are stark meditations on the journey Farrar took from Uncle Tupelo to Son Volt on Trace and on life in rock's fast lane as well.

		Son Volt was one of two bands to rise from the ashes of Uncle Tupelo, the country rock group credited with shaking the genre awake in the late '80s and making it hip again.
		But when the first version of Son Volt folded in 2000 after cutting three albums, Farrar went on to record two less popular solo CDs.
		Unlike Farrar's solo albums, which experimented with tape loops and electronic samples, the new Son Volt CD has a simple, rustic sound in the alt-country tradition.

	Country Standard Time: Son Volt, July 2005
		The original plan was for the long-distant members of Son Volt to reconvene last spring in order to record a cover of Alejandro Escovedo's "Sometimes" for the "Por Vida" tribute album, organized as a benefit to help defray Escovedo's mounting medical bills in the wake of his Hepatitis C diagnosis two years ago.
		But, as Farrar is quick to note, he never really broke up Son Volt officially, and he'd always utilized an acoustic guitar in every band he'd been in, so he wasn't the least bit surprised when the idea of reforming his last band cropped up.
		And now, with a new version of Son Volt supplanting the old, he's once again standing in the fire as fans and critics alike line up to compare whatever Farrar is doing to what he's already done.

	Son Volt: Okemah And The Melody Of Riot (2005): Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Jay Farrar has revived his post-Uncle Tupelo outfit Son Volt for their first album in seven years.
		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.
		If the sound that the original Son Volt line-up cultivated began to feel oppressing for Farrar, it’s clear on Okemah And The Melody of Riot that a return in part to that sound has been good for his musical soul.

		Uncle Tupelo were frequently compared to the longer-established Jayhawks, with much of the critical attention surrounding Farrar's lyrics, which drew heavily on his experiences growing up in Illinois, working on a farm and in his mother's second-hand bookshop during his adolescent years.
		Son Volt seem set on pursuing a similar strategy, judged on the contents of Trace, which featured 11 Farrar originals written in New Orleans where he settled after the break-up of Uncle Tupelo.
		Following the album's release, Farrar put Son Volt on hold to launch a solo recording career.

		Son Volt's Wide Swing Tremolo is the third album from one of the most widely hailed American bands of recent years.
		Stretching out in their own studio with a collection of some of vocalist/songwriter Jay Farrar's greatest songs thus far, the album has an upbeat, immediate feeling to it that reflects the band's drive to expand and further define their distinctive sound.
		The album was produced by Son Volt, with mixing assistance from Jack Joseph Puig (Goo Goo Dolls), David Barbe (Sugar) and John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr).

	Son Volt: Okemah and the Melody of Riot: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Okemah is a small town in eastern-central Oklahoma that's famous as the birthplace of Woody Guthrie, who serves as the guiding spirit of Son Volt's comeback album.
		But Farrar doesn't seem to be trying to re-fashion himself as a modern-day Guthrie on these songs; as always, he's much too reverential toward his influences to think he might occupy their ranks.
		Despite its new line-up, Son Volt churns out the same sturdy riff-heavy rock of Trace and Wide Swing Tremolo, but the band sounds more invigorated on songs like "6 String Belief" and even on slower tracks like "Medication".

	Son Volt - Okemah and the Melody of Riot
		When he fronted Uncle Tupelo with Jeff Tweedy, Jay Farrar was the poetic counterpoint to Tweedy’s punk rocker persona and the contrast made for a balance that’s always seemed lacking in Son Volt.
		And while Farrar has managed to pull out a couple of very memorable songs on every Son Volt disc, on the whole, they’ve always seemed to be missing some crucial element.
		This time out, Son Volt has an entirely new line-up that features guitarist Brad Rice (Backsliders, Ryan Adams), bassist Andrew Duplantis (Alejandro Escovedo, Jon Dee Graham), and drummer Dave Bryson.

		Well, it arrived at the store today, Son Volt's newest long player.
		Unfortunately I don't think the album is another Trace (can lightning strike twice anyway?) but it's far better than much of Son Volt's later catalog which I paid less and less attention to as each subsequent record came out.
		I suppose it's unreasonable to expect anyone to consistently recreate what is probably one of the best records of the 90's if not of the latter quarter of last century.
