Jay Farrar

This is lovely. Thank you for sharing. This loss has hit me particularly hard. I’ve had a lump in my throat and haven’t been able to listen to anything but Justin over the last 48 hours or so. The ‘Harlem River’ and ‘Nothing’s Gonna Change...” records are two of my all-time favorites.

Haunting, beautiful, heartbreaking.

Comments on a YouTube video of 'Careless Reckless Love.' I spent most of last night laughing.

New song is killer.

Agreed. Smoking. Also cool to discover just how recently he wrote some of the new material:

101 years, pandemic blues again
Life in lockdown
Don't let your hope, your driving force
Drag on the ground

Hey y'all, Tomorrow, exclusively in the online store, Son Volt is releasing a 26-track live recording for download, and it comes with a download of a new single entitled "These Are the Times." Check it: https://sonvolt.net/26live/?fbclid=IwAR31NSxLt1LDTFaEyG6wf0dhPWo2ktUE7-9FT5xiJ0J6X0_19EutmyXbUbs ...

https://youtu.be/xwBjF_VVFvE Listen to this song with open ears and tell me it doesn't sound like Jay could have (nay, should have!) written it. I swear I hear this song with Jay's voice out front. And don't forget that Natalie Maines' father, Lloyd Maines, is the source of all that smokin' steel on...

I know politics are frowned upon here for some reason (the artist who brings us all here certainly doesn't mince words), but I must say -- AMEN. I'm living in a constant state of fury and bewilderment. BYE DON 2020.

Y'all aware of this song? I found out about it when I searched 'Uncle Tupelo' on AllMusic.com. Not the greatest song I've ever heard by any stretch of the imagination, but cool references therein...

2020 has been a gawdawful year, but the music's been fairly good. Isbell is totally dialed in. 'Reunions' is a *great* record. "It Gets Easier" might be my song of the year thus far. And as a father of daughters, the final song on the record -- "Letting You Go" -- is a welcome punch in the gut. I al...

Here’s part 2, which features commentary from Patterson Hood, Rhett Miller, Brian Fallon, Ben Nichols, Lilly Hiatt, Valerie June, Dom Flemons, Eric Earley, Greg Kot, Peter Blackstock, Rob Miller, and more. Great stuff. https://www.nodepression.com/cant-look-away-musicians-writers-and-more-reflect-on...

Funny that Jay mentions ‘Graveyard Shift’ as the one that’s still requested. Umm... does he not hear the asshole at every show hollering ‘Whiskey Bottle’?

Awesome write-up here on the 30th anniversary of Uncle Tupelo’s debut album, including candid and insightful comments by Jay and Jeff: https://www.nodepression.com/toil-and-trouble-uncle-tupelos-no-depression-turns-30?fbclid=IwAR1uw9eYrG8a4n0SnIDp-qsoSPFJXNlyoxA70Kl2QZhyAYmo5hgIgDVdWxE Tim in the ATL

Some new tunes would be nice. Not thinking about how an artist can make money during this shutdown. It’s a living on one hand and a love on the other. We’re all facing the same dilemma in a way but, artists and their fans are still bound. Would like to know what Jay is up to too. With the amount of...

People Puttin' People Down.

Amen to that, brother. Maybe the best call yet.

Another beauty...
