Biography

After alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo broke up in 1994, founding singer-songwriters Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar formed different bands: Tweedy formed Wilco and Farrar formed Son Volt. Their debut album Trace was critically acclaimed and assured Uncle Tupelo fans that the magic had carried over to Son Volt. Subsequent albums, such as Straightaways (1997) and Wide Swing Tremolo (1998) were not… Read more in Amazon's Son Volt Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Tasty, November 18, 2005

Misi "=" (Swamp) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Retrospective: 1995-2000 (Audio CD)

It always seems odd that Jay Farrar has not become more of a known quantity in the music world. While his former bandmate Jeff Tweedy has let his talent and outgoing personality fuel Wilco, Farrar's tight-lipped, almost painfully shy public persona has kept him lower on the radar. However talent wise, he is right up there with Tweedy and other cutting edge performers today. This is a good collection of quality tunes from a band that should have gotten more coverage.

mikey g "mikey" (Richmond, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Retrospective: 1995-2000 (Audio CD)

With Trace being one of my favorite lps, this greatest hits draws heavily from that, but also has enough tracks from other works make this a must have for any fan of the alt country genre

4.0 out of 5 stars If you're only gonna own one album..., February 13, 2011

H3@+h "Over 1500 reviews!" (thanks for the helpful review votes) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Retrospective: 1995-2000 (Audio CD)

Being a casual fan of Uncle Tupelo and Wilco, I figured some Son Volt in my collection made sense. Like people often do, I went for the "hits" album. Honestly I only knew a track or two from Trace beforehand, this has those and alot more. I still don't know every note on this collection, but I like what I hear. Something about Jays voice really puts you into an old truck driving that dusty road. Two of my favorites here are covers, "Looking at the World Through A Windshield" and the last track "Open All Night" (Springsteen). I'd say some Son Volt is a must for any alt-country fan. Might I suggest The Jayhawks Anthology also.

Son Volt is a great band who craft an excellent meld of rock, blues, country and folk music into something which manages to sound honest and bare. Read more
