Jay Farrar

Is this really Jay Farrar ? I've never heard him so chatty.

I'm heading to the Birmingham show tonight. It's been a year and a half since my last SV show and I am more than ready. Also looking forward to Old Salt Union.

Ian Noe- Between The Country.........one of my favorite albums in years

The second half of the podcast is definitely better than the first. The second half actually seemed like a conversation.

Looks good to me. Bring on Memphis and Birmingham.

No St. Louis date....hopefully later in the year. I live one mile from Lafayette's in Memphis, but the last week in June is one of the hardest weeks of the year for me to get off work. I believe this is the first Memphis date for SV since.....2011 Maybe ? I should definitely be able to make the Birm...

I was gonna wait until the album was released to give this tune a listen but I couldn't do it. I love the song. It's been running through my head since the first listen.

Great news. Bring on the dates !!!

I just finished the book and I loved it. Probably half the book is devoted to Jeff's pre-Wilco life. I don't believe there any huge revelations regarding Uncle Tupelo but it's nice to hear the story (the good and bad) from a firsthand account. One thing Jeff did confirm is that Brian Henneman was of...

Someone on the Postcard from Hell group on Facebook mentioned that Jay has supposedly reached out to Jeff to ask if there are any more items in the Uncle Tupelo recording vault that could be released. If it’s true, that news escaped me. Also if it’s true, something seems astir. Tim in the ATL Jeff ...

This is a stream of consciousness: Jay shares the stage with Turnpike Troubadours, Turnpike Troubadours perform a dern fine cover of Long Hot Summer Day by John Hartford, John Hartford was from St. Louis, John Hartford was a musician who worked as a river boat captain , Jay Farrar's dad was a music...

I don't love the album, but I like it. I think it could have been cut from 12 songs to 10.
I really like Lo-Fi and Stovall's Grove.

Two casino shows in Tunica, Mississippi this month....
Kris Kristofferson this coming Saturday.
Dwight Yoakam on the 26th.

Lucero Family Block Party this afternoon in the heart of midtown Memphis, Tenn-Oh-See. Lucero, Turnpike Troubadours, Deer Tick, John Moreland.

Good stuff, TragicFig. Thanks. I met Jay at a book signing in Nashville a few years ago and he was great. It was a scheduled signing and he was pushing his book, but he took time to chat with everyone who wanted. I also met Gary Hunt in an Oxford, Mississippi bookstore a few years ago prior to a SV ...
