Jay Farrar

Thanks!

I don't post much, but I lurk often...... Does anyone know what Jay is mumbling at the end of the last verse on "Blind Hope" from WST. A poem perhaps, some free form words? Also, I think that song is the most diverse sounding song from the "Son Volt" sound. Different feel and style altogether on tha...

I don't know, Seven Bridges Road is pretty good.........

There's one out there w/ Doc and Bill Monroe. It's a live disc from a bluegrass festival. It's pretty good. Doc has always been my favorite.

Right on

Just heard "Death's Black Train" on philly's XPN today. It's pretty sweet. Jay sings the lead. Hard strumming acoustic, with bass and a great sounding drum (almost in the same vain as Barstow). It's lookin to be a good one.

much apprieciated!!

found a some new ones........the intro bass line to Spoons "I got my camera on". Also, the first time into the chorus of Richard Thompson's "Sibella". And the percussive washboard part on Pawtuckets "Mississippi Parking Lot"

They put on a good show. The guitar player/ lead singer can play a mean guitar. I saw them in Philly a month ago.

Bands I've found over the years that I think some people here might enjoy:

Pawtuckets
Farmer Not So John
Saddlesong
Frog Holler
Josh Ritter
Jackie Greene


Just in case you haven't heard of them, or are looking for something new.

I wore that tape out back in high school. Green Mind is my favorite. Both albums I never get sick of.
