This
performance, recorded in 1996, was a milestone in the evolution of
so-called 'alternative country' music (sometimes referred to as Americana).
Jay Farrar, along with Jeff Tweedy, were founding members of the legendary
band Uncle Tupelo, whose four albums became instant classics and helped
revive the country rock genre in the late 80's with a healthy dose
of punk thrown in. Following the demise of Uncle Tupelo, songwriter
and guitarist Farrar forged ahead into new musical territory, putting
together drummer Mike Heidorn and multi-talented brothers, guitarist
Dave Boquist and bassist Jim Boquist, to create Son Volt.
