Jesus, I'm surrounded by nostalgia freaks...

I mean, I love SV too, but I don't think Farrar will ever be able to top Feel Free and Cahokian and that lot of music by going back to SV; he's in a place musically and artistically now that he's never been before (in a good way); but I have an open mind and an open ear; it should be interesting to see how much old-school SV comes into the mix, and how much new Farrar, or maybe there will be a new direction entirely! Who knows with Farrar! Odds are I'll like it, whatever he does :)

This made my day/week/month/year. I've been waiting for this for as long time. This ain't no reunion/regression. This is what should have always been. This will also place the solo material into the proper context. Goddamn, but this is great news. My faith in music remains.

I agree. I see Son Volt as Jay's brand of Crazy Horse. This is not a reunion album, just like Greendale wasn't a reunion album (a 7 year space from Broken Arrow!).

Hope to see Heywood there as well. The fact that he was touring with Jay last year makes me think he'll be there.

So does anyone know whether Eric Heywood will be playing on the new record? I always really enjoyed his playing, esp. on Trace. I also really like what he did on Peter Bruntnell's "Normal For Bidgewater". In my mind that dirty steel guitar was a big part of the SV sound.

Honestly. Artist have that trouble all the time.

I can't wait for the newbie. I hope it's got a heavy mixture, (at least 5 or 6 rock songs like route or drown) and some single to offer up.

Yeah, I agree...people used to do shit like this all the time...I'm all for Jay picking it back up...he never said they broke up, just took a break to exorcise some demons and get some ideas out...good show.
