Digging the song. Been listening on repeat. It's available to buy on iTunes/Amazon now too. Or if you preorder the album on sonvolt.net you can get a download of it.

"Union also comes after the publication of Uncle Tupelo band mate Jeff Tweedy's memoir "Let's Go (So We Can Get Back)," in which he pulls no punches in writing about his mercurial relationship with Farrar. "I haven't read it," says Farrar, who's also recorded a pair of new Gob Iron songs with Varnaline's Anders Parker for April 13’s Record Store Day (the duo's 2006 album Death Songs for the Living is being reissued as well). "People tell me he got some things wrong. The main way it impacts me right now is questions in interviews. It used to be Tweedy questions were number 10, now they come in three or five. But that's about it, really."
Oh my. To each their own I guess. I read your comment before listening to the song and expected to be underwhelmed, but my goodness nothing could be further from my initial reaction. To my ears, this is a mid-tempo masterpiece in the vein of a Cemetery Savior or a Medicine Hat. Like others, I feel that Farrar’s mid-tempo mastery has been absent for quite sometime. Since Okemah, it’s been all-out sonic blasts or low-key acoustic numbers (with rare exception of course — Atmosphere, Back Against the Wall, etc.). And this, at first listen, seems to be a classic example of Jay’s cryptic but undeniably beautiful lyricism as well.amzie wrote:kinda generic?
This is SPLENDID. I am so happy.
