Chicago friends...I just noticed Son Volt added a show in July at SPACE in Evanston. For those of you who have never been, t's a really cool, very intimate venue.

I only listened to the first few songs of the stream. I'm seeing them in Chicago tomorrow, and I didn't want to get the full experience ahead of time. Really just wanted to hear the new Gob Iron song (it's outstanding). The band is exactly what I expected having seen them a lot of times. I listened ...

I gave the record a few close listens last night, and my conclusion is that I like the songs, but I don't love the record. With the sameness of it, it just doesn't work as a record for me. Don't know if that makes sense to the rest of you??? I was really struck by the beauty of Slow Burn last night.

It's always been my opinion that Son Volt is at its best when a record has a combination of roots and rockers. (Notes of Blue is a perfect example) I really like some of these songs on Union: Devil May Care, The 99, Rebel Girl... but it's all too much of the same tempo. The record moves at the same ...

Sounds like all mellow, mid-tempo songs. I was hoping for some Notes of Blue-esque rockers mixed in.

I enjoyed the book. The sections on Farrar and Bennett were especially interesting for me. Jeff comes across as very reflective and honest in this book.

Jay's book was interesting, but I'd love for him to write a book like Jeff's.

John Agnello Twitter

I noticed over the weekend that John Agnello tweeted that he recently mixed the new Son Volt record. Some fans asked him some questions about it, but he didn't take the bait. Good news nonetheless.

Son Volt at Space 8/9

First of all, it was great meeting TragicFig and son for dinner and a couple beers before the show. Great time! I've been to just about every venue in Chicago, but this was my first show at Space. Small. They didn't even have a back stage. For the encore, they just stood on the side of the stage for...
