And Jim just looks down with a little grin, like "oops, hope Jay doesn't get mad at little bro". Jay seems to give Dave a "no big deal" shrug.BTW--I too loved Dave's playing, but also thought Brad Rice and James Walbourne did awesome work in Son Volt. Good guitarists want to play with Jay!

at 3:44 my guitar idol slips up and reveals he's human after all.

Badass song. They killed it with Trace. Defied definition. Too bad they disbanded so quickly.

+ChaosStreams I don't think he had a good mix coming through the monitor. It sounds like he's struggling to stay on key whenever the louder parts come in. Still a great song, though.

If we like early SV or Wilco, we are truly fortunate. Because we know them. xoxox

no one could write meandering melodies and lyrics that didn't rhyme like Farrar. Even better than REM. that's a good thing of course.

I miss these days. 1995 - 1998 were the heydays of alt.country. Son Volt, Wilco, The Jayhawks, Whiskeytown... we had it so good.

[From PBS] Austin City Limits: Son Volt DVD This performance, recorded in 1996, was a milestone in the evolution of so-called 'alternative country' music. Jay Farrar with Jeff Tweedy, were founding members of the legendary band Uncle Tupelo whose four albums became instant classics. Following the demise of Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar forged ahead into new musical territory, putting together drummer Mike Heidorn, guitarist Dave Boquist and bassist Jim Boquist, to create Son Volt.
