Son Volt’s classic first album formed in the ashes of Uncle Tupelo was met with immediate critical and fan acclaim, newly remastered in hi-res. Expanded edition also features previously unreleased demo versions and a live set from 1996 at The Bottom Line.
Jay Farrar always provided the darkest, grittiest moments in Uncle Tupelo, so it comes as no surprise that Son Volt is a rawer record than A.M., the first album by Wilco, a band led by his former partner Jeff Tweedy. Throughout Son Volt’s debut, Trace, the group reworks classic honky tonk and rock & roll, adding a desperate, determined edge to their performances. Even when they rock out, there is a palpable sense of melancholy to Farrar’s voice, which lends a poignancy to the music. Trace isn’t a great step forward from Tupelo’s last album, the lovely Anodyne, but it is a fine continuation of the ideas Farrar has pursued over the course of his career.
