I went back and listened to it today. I forgot how good that album is. I'd say it's probably their least country sounding album, though. Any Son Volt is good Son Volt, in my opinion.wrecking ball operator wrote:Oh, I don't know...

We've heard 4 songs now, nearly half the album, and this thing is absolutely KILLER.

I really appreciate this phrase: "Part of that meant bringing out the old Webster Chicago amplifier I used for Son Volt's (1995 debut) record Trace, the amplifier that's on the cover of that record," Farrar says. "It's a low-powered amp that just delivers a big sound, and I just wanted to revisit the sound of that amp. It sort of represents a quintessential sounding blues amplifier."

The new songs will be fun to play live, he predicts, but Farrar acknowledges that the different tunings will require some coordination with his techs in the wings. "We're going to have some long talks, with charts about what guitars to use when," Farrar says. "It's going to be an adventure."
