Fuckin' a right!

You're probably right, I can never remember and didn't want to look it up.

I thought Jim was the lead but I agree with you anyway. I really miss Jay letting loose on the guitar.

Let's hope this new Son Volt will highlight a little more lead playing by Jay (now that Dave in gone)! It was great hearing him jam out on Hurricane last time around but I WANT MORE!
