Review

Rolling Stone (10/29/98, p.74) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...finds the alt-country band moving away from the bedraggled sorrow of its second album, STRAIGHTAWAYS....[they've] learned to celebrate emotional depth rather than drown in it....a broader and more balanced palette..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/30/98, p.117) - "...this third missive from the heartland proves that no on does the soulful twang-and-burn better than Jay Farrar and Co. Uncustomarily upbeat...many of these songs...return to the power and purity of the band's brilliant 1995 debut TRACE." - Rating: B+

Title Note

Son Volt: Jay Farrar (vocals, guitar, dulcimer, harmonica, piano, electric piano, organ, chamberlain); Dave Boquist (guitar, lap steel guitar, fiddle, viola); Jim Boquist (slide guitar, piano, bass, background vocals); Mike Heidorn (drums, percussion).

Additional personnel: Eric Heywood (pedal steel guitar); Dave Barbe (rattle).

Throughout the '90s, as the debate over relative supremacy raged between Uncle Tupelo fans, Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy led their post-Tupelo combos down paths not dissimilar to those they followed in their NO DEPRESSION days. Farrar, arguably the more cerebral of the two, led Son Volt through the crowded jungle of Americana with his abstract poetic lyrics and folk-rock heart. Son Volt's third album puts aside the downcast traditionalism of its predecessor for a more electrically charged sound that harks back to--dare we say it?--Tupelo days. There are some traditional touches, like the folky instrumental "Chanty" and the stark, acoustic ballad "Carry You Down," but it's the ringing guitars and breathless rhythms of tunes like "Straightface" that carry Farrar's elliptical, idiosyncratic country-rock constructions on WIDE SWING TREMOLO.
