The 1990’s seem like last century, but there was a movement afoot in alt-country and one seminal band was Uncle Tupelo. Co-founder Jeff Tweedy went on to the much-celebrated Wilco. But under the corporate milieu was co-founder Jay Farrar’s band Son Volt. With a dozen albums over 25 years, they don’t have an armful (or fingerful) of Grammy Awards, but the authenticity and Neil Young-esque sound is heart wrenching. Farrar might be undersung, but his heart has always been in the right place and this version of Son Volt thirty years later has all the hallmarks of a shining star.
