sebastopol is one of the greatest musical works of art i have ever heard. it wins this catagory based on the first two songs alone. feedkill chain, make it alright, voodoo candle, vitamins, damn shame and barstow are also essential jay tunes.

Agreed on the "no live albums" point for me. I'll go with Terroir, but it's close. And I'd like the record to reflect that I'd reach for ANY UT or SV disc before any JF solo. Just sayin'.

Sebastopol over Terrior Blues because it has Windfall's younger, more jaded cousin giving us this :

You're right. I have hesitated enough. Sebastopol gets my vote.

With that said, my vote is going to Sebastopol as that is my favorite of his solo albums.

(Now I will open my iTunes and rattle my apartment with a rousing rendition of Before I Break.)
You are in the minority, but it's nice to know there's a kindred UT head here!!

It'd do me just fine to make it through the night, SBA!

All very great albums, and hard to choose between Sebastopol and Terroir Blues.... But I'm gonna have to say Terroir Blues. It came out just as I was getting into Jay, so it was the first Jay album that I actually went out and bought the day it came out. It has such a thorough vibe. So soothing and contemplative. Great songs. Great musicianship. Kick ass.

As I've had a couple votes that I've cast and subsequently regretted, am going to have to pay considerable attention to this one. Terrior is out of the running. And I don't have Third shift or that live ep, which means it comes down to one of the remianing three. That Live in Seattle was kind of a sleeper for me. I liked it when it first came out but REALLY like it now. So am not casting a vote yet. Under consideration.
