Caravan of Fools would indeed be excellent. That covers project I put together years ago had him singing a part of Please Don't Bury Me but not all of it unfortunately. I'd love hear to Clocks and Spoons.
Hey y’all. I can’t help but wonder, following the death of John Prine this week, what Jay would be playing in tribute if the shows were going on as originally planned. I’d love to hear him do “Sam Stone” or “Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You into Heaven Anymore.” But if any of you have heard “Caravan of...
So nice to see all y’all’s pretty faces again after a long hiatus. And I’m going to see Son Volt in Decatur, GA and Macon, GA in April, so I’m doing okay these days.
With all the mentions of The Hold Steady (which I’m unfamiliar with), I’m giving it a listen now. I really like "You’re a Good Kid" and (playing as I write) "Traditional Village." Glad you’re digging it, Tokyo. Craig Finn’s songwriting is second to none; he employs a variety of techniques that you ...
The Hold Steady - ‘Thrashing Through the Passion’ (2019) It’s their best since 2008’s ‘Stay Positive,’ and maybe their best yet. Craig Finn’s writing is certainly as strong as ever, and the return of the horn section and Franz Nicolay on keys has the band firing on all cylinders. My album of th...

Ya’ll didn’t witness that shit but Blues evened the series with a win in STL. First time for the good guys. If you don’t care about hockey, watch it. It’s free on NBC. Crazy ass skating, energy and brutality occasionally. I’m all in. Super exciting stuff so far. I’m more impressed by the athleticis...
It is PHENOMENAL. I am actually very surprised by how little mention he received on here while opening for Son Volt on the first leg of this tour. He was awesome in Chattanooga. This here’s a deeply serious songwriter drawing comparisons to Townes Van Zandt and John Prine that are *entirely* warrant...
Man, I wish I was going. Especially after reading this fine piece about last year’s cruise from The Bitter Southerner. https://bittersoutherner.com/all-in-the-same-boat-outlaw-country-cruise Very much about the sort of "union" Jay would like to see and that our country so desperately needs. Tim in t...
Haven't I read somewhere that Jay is a big St. Louis Blues fan? If so, exciting times, as the Blues haven't been in contention for Lord Stanley's Cup since Jay was 3 years old.
Hi All, I don't know if you guys are familiar with Brian Koppelman. He wrote the movie Rounders and currently writes the series Billions on Showtime which last year featured Son Volt's Sinking Down. Koppelman has a podcast called The Moment, and Jay is his guest this week. Haven't listened to it ye...
