Jay Farrar

Beach Slang. Last night @Ottobar. Good show. Met James Alex who was very sincere and genuine. Love their debut album.

From what I've heard early 2017. Not fast enough. Can't wait though.

Having said the above I really can't wait for the next Jay solo album or the next configuration of Son Volt. At this time next year we should be putting that on our best of's for 2016.

I was disappointed in the new Craig Finn. I really liked "Clear Heart Full Eyes" but the songs on the new album are just not very good. Between this and the last Hold Steady album I wonder if Finn is running out of lyrical ideas. I wonder if the Hold Steady will return. My favorite album was Ryan Ad...

Blasting the hell out of it. Best album of the 90's.

Does anyone have a copy of this??

According to setlist fm the song "Shake Some Action" is also from the same show. I guess royalty payments must have been too high to include it on this release.

For my money SV 1 were the only ones who came close to that CH sound, largely due to Mike Heidorn's drumming and Dave's Les Paul. SV 2, even during it's original rocking lineup, did not have that spark and rough ed...

I hope everyone has a great New Year filled with lots of Alt Country, if that even exists anymore, or Rock n Roll.

Man, do I wish Jay would bring back these guys. I was listening to the Nashville 98 bootleg and just wow! I came up with a name for the hybrid of Son Volt and Crazy Horse because that incarnation reminds me of something like that. Crazy Volt or Son Horse. Just amazing. God do I wish Jay would bring ...

Now we're all friends here and I don't want to step on anyone's toes or offend anyone but I went to the show at the Myerhoff in Baltimore on Monday night and it was quite impressive. Tweedy came out and didn't say a word and launched into a song called "Down From Above" which was fantastic!! The nex...
