Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Sometimes a successful solo debut is more about honing an extant style than making wholesale changes. Here, Jay Farrar shelves his post-Uncle Tupelo band Son Volt and their Crazy Horse-meets-cowpunk sound in favor of a tuneful, acoustic approach. Solo or not, it's clear from the dark-hued melodies, obtuse lyrics, and yearning lead vocals on Sebastopol that this is obviously a Farrar record. No great stylistic leaps here, and, for fans, that's good news. An upbeat, repeat-chorused tune like "Voodoo Candle" would not be out of place on a Son Volt record. The twangy "Barstow" with David Rawlings on lap steel would have fit on a later Uncle Tupelo disc. And the mournful "Drain" is set to the tune Farrar has been writing since he began. The details are where things are different. From the violin-like keyboards of "Damaged Son," the drum machine and sitar intro of "Prelude (Make It Alright)," and the alternative tunings used throughout, it's clear that Farrar is now writing songs for himself and not a band. It's a change that casts the best moments of his craggy songwriting--the melodic turn of the chorus of "Feedkill Chain" and the solid craftsmanship of "Different Eyes"--in an even more beautiful light. --Robert Baird

The Perfect Road Trip Record

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

I don't know how I missed this record until now. It was released around the time my dad died & I was going through a divorce, so it flew under my radar. Anyhow, I love it! It's fabulous, from start to finish. As a Son Volt fan, I was expecting straightforward alt-country but this transcends the genre. It's a tasty stew of country-blues-rock-fock-pop. You know if a songwriter dares to lob an Indian instrument onto an album it's gonna be classified as "experimental" or "artsy." But fear not. The addition of the tambura is subtle, a little ear-spice to perk up the senses. Sing-alongable songs abound, from "Yankee Candle" to "Make it Allright." I played this record for the 1st time while on a road trip from LA to Vegas and laughed when I unexpectedly heard "Barstow" just as I was passing through it. A perfect road trip album. A little REM-y, a little Son Voltish, but a whole lotta melody blended with clever lyrics all tinged with Jay's trademark melancholia drawl. Loved every moment of it.

Farrar does not disappoint

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2001

Ignore the hogwash you read about this project not being good, this is a killer cd. The first couple of times I listened, I was amazed at how different the sound was. Now I'm amazed at how much it DOES sound like Jay. There are some new sounds here, particularly synthesized keyboards but they work surprisingly well. I don't think I've ever heard an Uncle Tupelo song in my life [ducking for cover]. I got turned on to Jay's music starting with Son Volt- this is a must have CD.

Not the usual, but still good stuff

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2002

I don't think Jay Farrar gets any better than Son Volt. Sebastopol covers rather different sonic territory - sitars and tablas, oh my! - and Ferrar doesn't sound quite as confident outside the realm of Alt.Country, but some of the songs are quite good.
For long time Farrar/Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt fans, this album will require several listens to acclimatize.

I'm a little bitter...

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2001

Son Volt is my favorite band of all-time. I love Uncle Tupelo and Wilco as well, but Son Volt is, in my opinion, as good as music can possibly get. For Sebastopol, Jay decided to 1) get rid of his incredibly talented musicians and find lesser ones; and 2) try to do something other than what he does best. I always thought Jay Farrar could sing the Yellow Pages and it would be incredible. I was wrong.
Sebastopol is a decent album, but it is missing good musicians... the music doesn't fit together like Son Volt did, and even the lyrics aren't as moving as Son Volt. ...We all know Jay is capable of much better. I'm dissapointed...
Unlike (Son Volt's) Trace, which is still in my 6 disc changer after all these years, Sebastopol won't last more than a week or so...
I literally cried when I heard Son Volt was vanquished, and this album does not make me feel any better. Oh well, at least they can't take Trace, Straightaways, and Wide Swing Tremolo away from me. I'll have those 3 albums for the rest of my life on my deserted little island... sipping coconut milk and relaxing to the soothing sounds of "Creosote."

Vitamins for the world

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2001

When I first read some reviews of this album, I felt I needed to listen more to really write a review myself...Well, the verdict is in. This album got better and better with every listen, and the songs got more powerful. Just absolutely beautifully done. The previous albums by Son Volt were done by basically one set of musical tones, and the results were incredible. Jay's voice has the tendency to reach straight into the guts of your feelings, even though sometimes you have a hard time figuring out what he is singing about. This was especially true in "Straightaways" and "Wide Swing Tremolo". However, in this album, Jays words are less obscure, more powerful, more directional. His music changed as well here, with more strings and synthetic elements being added, as an added whole sounding to the music. To me, this did not take anything away from his songs, it basically added more genres of music to an already amazing sound unique to Jay Farrar. All of this together has produced probably the most complete album of this career, including anything with Uncle Tupelo. His mature sounds and words are notable, and sweet.
"Damaged Son" is as good as it gets, "Drain" is breathtakingly painful, "Make it alright" is stunning, "Different eyes" and "Outside the door" are hopeful anthems. Finally, there is not a better last song on a cd than "Vitamins", which is displayed subtlely in the song itself, but a reminder that the people today need to look at oneself and be happy before he judges the rest of the world. Just like "Trace, "Straightaways", and "Wide Swing Tremolo", this cd will be a frequent listen of mine for a long time to come. There just doesn't get much better music these days than this.

Ferrar without Son Volt better than no Ferrar at all

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 15, 2001

Verified Purchase

If you are an 'Alt. Country' purist this album might not be up to expectations, but for those simply enthralled by Ferrar's phenomenal songwriting skills, changes in instrumentation will not make a difference. In many ways this album follows trends already evident in Son Volts final album 'Wide Swing Tremelo': more brief instrumentals and a more heavily produced feel. In addition, Ferrar has added a greater use of keyboards, especially an Ensoniq Sampler which sometimes is jarring. Unfortunately such trends seem to be sweeping the Alt. Country scene (viz. Wilco & Ryan Adams). If you can stomach the departure from steel guitars then don't despair, but its curious that so many artists seem to be making the same career moves at the same time...For longtime fans of Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt there is still one traditional gem on this album: 'Barstow' (done, not surprisingly, in collaboration with Gillian Welch). This tune, with a typically brilliant Ferrar lyric, has already worked its way into my top-10 of 'Alt. Country Classics'. Also worth a serious listen is the brooding 'Dead Promises' and the groovey 'Damn Shame'. Still, let's just hope these general trends don't continue or the remnants of Alt.Country might just become a new type of (God forbid) 'Art Rock'.

Son VoltのフロントマンJay Farrarの2001年初ソロ。Uncle Tupelo時代からアルバム毎に若干の違いはあれど、一貫してAlt-Country道を歩んできた人でその才能は一言、凄い。
本作は所謂双方のバンド時のような、バンドアンサンブルを期待すると肩すかしをくらう。無機質に叩きつけられるドラム、メロディを無視して鳴る大きくひずませたギター音、機械的に聞こえるシンセ等、スタジオワークによって作られた「効果音」が常に楽曲のメインの傍に据えられている。
Jay Farrarの音楽性、センスを理解するには、つまりはオルカンというジャンルのひとりとしてではなく、彼そのもののファンは買っても損は無い。Jayの声も一層すごみが増しているし・・・。
