I seem to recall a while back a thread about Jay's voice. I ignored it at the time, but after listening to Okemah and Still Feel Gone back to back I cannot ignore it anymore. I suppose what the earlier thread said was that formerly Jay sang with a deeper, straightforward voice "Hometown, same town b...

this is like one of those desert island questions. Fact is if you could take five albums with you to a desert island you wouldn't take rock albums. They would soon grow stale, make you sick. Great album, but how many times can you listen to Trace? Jazz works much better. You never get tired of Miles...

Worth Checking Out?

Miles of Wire worth checking out too? Are you mad? MOW is the greatest thing to come out of St. Louis since....Scott Joplin. I heard their first CD and it is like the Bride of Whiskeytown meets Marah and has Jean Genet for an offspring. And their new songs (I believe they go into the studio this Jun...

So there is no such thing as good or bad music? Just different? What a wishy-washy way to think. I suppose you "think" the same about good and evil. Maybe to Hitler killing the Jews was good, so we shouldn't harrass him too about it. After all, he is entitled to believe anything he likes. His opinio...

Why do people keep saying Heidorn and his kids? Far as I know his one stepchild is away at college. And if the Boquists had another gig, what would have stopped Mike from playing with Jay since they are friends and live in the same town, basically, except Jay wouldn't pay up. It must have been a rea...

..."But it is all subjective, what some consider a piece of shit, others may consider a masterpiece. It is opinion and feeling and taste." Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. The opinion of an experienced and discriminating and intelligent music critic is worth more than the opinion of an idiot. Some music is geni...

I want answers

Even a multi-national corporation answers to its stockholders. The fans and music buyers and concert goers are stockholders in Son Volt. So what the f*** happened?

March 92 was not a departure for Uncle Tupelo, not if you know Uncle Tupelo. It was a logical progression. Folk music is in their blood. Look what Tweedy did with Woody Guthrie's songs. Genius pure and simple. March was pure brilliance, if commie inspired. The fact is Jay has been struggling with hi...

Lay of Jeff

Seems like a lot of people around here are annoyed by Tweedy's success, so they are trashing his masterpiece. The album came in Number 8 on the Billboard chart which means it has Popular as well as its normal niche appeal. For a band with alt-country roots a number 8 position on Billboard is unprece...
