Description

Formed by frontman Jay Farrar following his split from alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt provided Farrar (and fellow band members, drawn from musical stablemates Wilco) with a vehicle for his songwriting and over the course of six albums the band has carved a niche for itself as one of Americas most critically acclaimed acts. Son Volts sound world is drawn from elements of the Rolling Stones Exile On Main Street, early period REM, The Byrds and Little Feat, sprinkled with Farrars own southern story telling. American Central Dust is another great work from one of Americas great songwriters.
