Made my whole week!
This is my first post to this board although I read it a lot. None of my friends are into SV and when I got the news I didn't have anyone to celebrate with, so I had to join. Musically this is the best news I've heard in a long long time. His solo stuff is great but I really miss the full band sound especially the fiddle, banjo and steel. My wait is almost over!

Jay just played my Stratocaster, last Saturday night, and really liked it. Here's what I'd like to see happen...
Jay buy a Strat of his own, change the name of the band to "Sun Ra Volt", then, put "SRV" on the pickguard of his Strat.
Maybe get a wide brimmed cowboy hat...
I'd really be all for that, as long as he promised to stay out of helicopters.
Seriously...
I'm for anything that puts Mike Heidorn back in the public eye.
What the world needs now, is Mike, sweet Mike...
I can't think of nothin' I don't like about Mike.
It's high time for them Boquist's to get back to work too.

I'm all for an SV reunion - there's only so much Jay and Mark can do togther - otherwise Jay was gonna have to get another band together anyway. It will be REAL interesting to see and hear what SV puts on disk - my bet is that there will be some extreme departures from the norm - although I am hoping for a few classic SV tunes for my next road trip to Colorado next summer.

i barely know how to contain my excitement. i cannot wait for serious touring, let alone the album. this was destined to happen. _sebastapol_ and _teroir_ were jay's "black sheets of rain" and "workbook:" we should appreciate them for that....
but, it's time for the tightest rock band i've ever seen to get back on the road. damn. this is great.

Is it just me or did the board seem really dormant for a few weeks until this news came out? Now it is alive again!!! This is great news.
Why do some of you assume that a new Son Volt record means a step back for Jay? Or that it is just Nostalgia? As talented and creative a songwriter and musician as he is, something tells me he is not just going to go in and do Trace II.
I think it can be both the return of a great rock band AND a step forward. They are not going to rest on their laurels of 10 years ago.
