On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Adam listen to Adam's next pick, Wilco's "A.M." Released in 1995, it was their debut album. The band was formed following a series of disputes between Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar of Uncle Tupelo, with Tweedy going on to form Wilco and Farrar going on to form Son Volt. Both "A.M." and Son Volt's album "Trace" were highly anticipated because of the turmoil in Uncle Tupelo. Ultimately, "Trace" became the more critically respected album, and Wilco eventually moved on from the alt-country/country-rock sound of this album, producing two extremely well received albums in the 2000s, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" in 2001 and "A Ghost is Born" in 2004, which won two Grammy Awards. But is this album a relic of an acrimonius split in a well respected group? Will the boys think "I Must be High?" Come along and find out!

This week's throwback is a revisit to the singer/songwriter/guitar slinger with an almost insatiable intellectual and musical wanderlust - Anders Parker. We closed out the fifth season of Abandoned Albums talking with the troubadour who entered the scene in the mid 90's when a 4-track recording he made in his Portland, OR apartment, titled Man of Sin, got passed around. Anders then formed a band and began walking a trail that has defined his life, as you'll hear. As the leader/songwriter/guitarist/multi-instrumentalist of the band Varnaline, Parker toured and eventually released 5 albums under that name… and Anders entered the indie music lexicon. As all things do, Varnaline ran its course, beginning phase two of Anders's artistry - a phase that has seen him exploring both his own solo work, collaborating with folks like Jay Farrar of Son Volt, and even adding music to some of the late Woody Guthrie's songs. The resulting album New Multitudes found him collaborating with Jim James, Jay Farrar, and Will Johnson and remains a fan favorite. The interview would've spanned two or three hours in order to cover everything Anders has accomplished in his career… and continues to accomplish. Geoff and Keith spoke with Anders about a fair chunk of his career and about his new album, The Black Flight, which drops on Friday, August 11. Pull up a chair, relax, and discover one helluva great artist - by every measure and definition of the word.
Immediately after Uncle Tupelo co-leaders Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy parted ways 30 years ago, bassist John Stirratt and his fellow bandmates followed Tweedy into a new band, Wilco. Now Stirratt and Tweedy are the only members left from that original lineup, and Stirratt reflects on Wilco's exciting, turbulent early years as well as the more stable past two decades with the same lineup. Then there's Stirratt's other band, the Autumn Defense, which he and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone (who joined Wilco later) formed to highlight their melodic songwriting and sweet lead vocals. Ten years have passed since the last Autumn Defense album, but a new one is coming. From playing with the unpredictable Alex Chilton while a young man in the South (and singing his songs later) to entering the hospitality industry from his current home in Maine and being on call for Wilco, the ever-gracious Stirratt has many adventures to share.
GUEST OVERVIEW: Indie Rock, Alt Country, singer songwriter Brad Byrd already hit the ground running in '24 with a return to SXSW as an official artist for the second year in a row. Byrd's forthcoming single "Cold World" released on March 7th, and is garnering a buzz in the music community. It is poised to join the over 50+ tracks off Byrd's catalog to be featured on film & tv to date. The songwriter and painter has logged many touring miles in his van in recent years, sharing the stage with the likes of Pete Yorn, Fantastic Negrito, Jesse Daniel, Jay Farrar (of Son Volt), and Paul McDonald to name a few. Along with consistent new releases and national touring; the songs off Byrd's extensive catalog have been receiving significant radio play, specifically on Nic Harcourt's morning show on KCSN in Los Angeles and on WXPN in Philly.
Welcome to Episode 19 of Roots Music Rambler! Join us – hosts Francesca Folinazzo (Frank) and Jason Falls (Falls) as we explore the real roots of the music we love. On this episode, we have a true Alt Country legend with us. Guitarist John Horton joins us on the show to talk about his career and impact on the music world. He became a member of the legendary band The Bottle Rockets in 2003. As if that wasn't impressive enough to cement him as an impactful contributor to the Alt Country sound, he joined friend Jay Farrar and his band Son Volt in 2021. Son Volt, of course is one of the two offspring of the Uncle Tupelo split. That band is often credited with starting the Alt Country genre. Horton takes us through his musical journey, the impact of both bands and their music, Son Volt's latest album Day of the Doug (a tribute to Doug Sahm) and a lot more. Frank and Falls also discuss the recent dust-up between Jason Isbell and the widow of Justin Townes Earle over Isbell's song When We Were Close. The controversy was covered widely in the music business as Jenn Marie Earle posted a harsh criticism of the song which calls out their daughter. Frank also discusses her recent trip through Belleville, Illinois, to New Orleans, to stalk historical sites related to both Farrar and former Uncle Tupelo and Wilco founder Jeff Tweedy. She and Falls also offer up their regular Pickin' the Grinnin' choices for music you should listen to.

Aunque muchos no quieren saber de iglesias, Jesús continua siendo una figura popular. Nadie habla mal de Él. El problema es que hay muchos "jesuses" y la mayoría tienen más que ver con nosotros, que con quién realmente era Él. Al llegar al capítulo 9 del Evangelio según Lucas, Jesús mismo pregunta a sus discípulos quién dice la gente que es Él y quién creen ellos que es (vv. 18-20). La sintonía está hoy a cargo de un duo femenino de los años 70, Beth & Cinde, conocidas también como Wild Roses. Jeff Tweedy escribió la canción "Jesús, Etc" tras la ruptura con Jay Farrar en 1994, que cambia la banda Wilco con el disco "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot". Tweedy sufría de migrañas, depresiones y ataques de pánico cuando la compuso con el título de "Jesús no llores". La escuchamos en la versión de Puss n Boots, la banda alternativa de country de Nueva York donde estaba Norah Jones bajo el nombre del Gato con Botas. Más claramente sobre "Jesús" es la canción de Queen en su primer álbum de 1973. Es curiosa, no sólo por su estilo psicodélico, sino porque Freddie Mercury venía de una familia parsi que tenía sus raíces en la India y practicaba el zoroastrismo, una antigua religión monoteísta que no tiene nada que ver con el cristianismo. Antes de llegar al teatro y a los cines, "Jesucristo Superstar" fue un disco, la primera "ópera-rock", compuesta por los ingleses Andrew Lloyd Webber y Tim Rice, que hicieron la música y la letra, respectivamente. Se estrenó en Londres y Broadway en 1971, un año después de que el cantante de Deep Purple, Ian Gillan grabara el disco. La obra provocó muchas protestas, tanto de judíos como de cristianos y fue llevada al cine por Norman Jewison en 1973. Como no tiene diálogos, sólo canciones, hemos optado esta vez por escuchar la versión que hizo en castellano Camilo Sesto en 1975. No hay más que una grabación de la obra por un aficionado, pero escuchamos un reportaje de presentación cuando se emitió televisión, donde se ha hecho ahora una serie sobre la obsesión del cantante por ella, que la acabó financiando él mismo. El personaje clave del "Superstar" es curiosamente Judas, interpretado en España por Teddy Bautista y en la película por un afroamericano, ¡lo que hoy no sería nada "políticamente correcto"! Es la primera vez que se sugiere también una atracción romántica de María Magdalena por Jesús, algo que se repetirá después, una y otra vez. El film se rodó en Israel, pero en un paisaje desértico y los actores tienen una extraña combinación de aspecto hippie con elementos contemporáneos. El protagonista en el teatro, Jeff Fenholt, que fue un tiempo cantante de Black Sabbath y amante de Gala, la mujer de Dalí, se hizo luego evangélico, pero el que lo hizo en el cine, Ted Neely, acabó en el porno. El evangelista Billy Graham utilizó la canción final de Judas en sus predicaciones de 1971. José de Segovia traduce una parte de su sermón en Chicago y comenta la obra a la luz del Evangelio, que nos presenta no sólo la Cruz, sino también la Resurrección de un Jesús que es Dios, además de hombre. Jesús fue algo más que un carpintero, como dice la canción de Michelle Pillar (In Nazareth There Is A Carpenter 1982), la veterana cantante cristiana casada con el guitarrista de jazz, Larry Carlton. Para conocer a Jesús, tenemos que ir a las fuentes originales. Hay algunas referencias a Él en textos romanos y judíos, pero nada comparable al testimonio de los cuatro Evangelios y los escritos apostólicos, algunos anteriores a los propios Evangelios, que nos dicen por lo menos, quién decía ser Él. Puedes pensar lo que quieras de Él, pero no puedes negar lo que Él afirma de sí mismo...

On this weeks episode, we take a listen to the third album by Wilco, 1999's Summerteeth. Wilco rose from the ashes of Uncle Tupelo trying to find its footing in the shadow of Son Volt, the band Jay Farrar founded. Wilco lead singer and main songwriter Jeff Tweedy had the vision of letting multi-instrumentalist Jay Bennett play just about any keyboard he could get his hands on while he and the rest of the band provided strong backing that let the songs sound like pop tunes from another time, even though lyrics could be dark and, in some cases, disturbing. While a transitional album for the band that portends what is to come, it stands on its own and contains some of Tweedy's most compelling (and catchy) songwriting.

He counts Bob Dylan, Nirvana, Vic Chesnutt, and Uncle Tupelo among his formative influences. Killeen's recent release include the EPs, “6.17.20” and “1.9.21,” as well as the single, “It's Time For California To Come Home.” Killeen's most recent full-length album, “Ghost,” was produced by Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo) at his Cartoon Moon Studios in Nashville and released in 2019 on Saturn 5 Records to worldwide distribution. “Ghost” features Killeen's strongest set of songs to-date, and his collaboration with Coomer builds on his Americana roots, with a collection of tracks that straddles the lines between genres, including folk rock, pop rock, indie rock, and alternative rock. Killeen penned and contributed lead vocals for all nine songs, and played electric and acoustic guitars, harmonica, and piano. Coomer said of Killeen: “Mike Killeen can take you to that place, the place of a lost love, that yearning we all have for someone, or he can paint the picture of human loss, that deep line that runs between life and death.” https://mikekilleen.com/

This week's Talkhouse episode features a pair of legends from the alt-country or country or No Depression or Americana worlds—you pick. It's Jay Farrar of Son Volt along with singer-songwriter (and many other things) Steve Earle. Jay Farrar started his career as part of the seminal band Uncle Tupelo alongside another noted songwriter (and frequent Talkhouse guest) Jeff Tweedy. After their split, Tweedy went on to Wilco while Farrar formed the band Son Volt, which has since released an impressive catalog—their tenth and latest album was recorded during pandemic downtime, and you can hear it in the deliberateness of the songs. It's called Electro Melodier. Steve Earle is one of those guys who makes you feel lazy. He's not only an incredibly accomplished singer and songwriter with literally dozens of albums to his credit, he's also a producer, an actor—most notably on The Wire—a novelist, a Sirius XM DJ, and as you'll hear here, an aspiring TV show creator. His 2020 album Ghosts of West Virginia was spun off from an off-Broadway show he worked on, while this year's J.T. is a tribute to his talented son, Justin Townes Earle, who passed away just last year. As you'll hear, he's got even more projects in the works, including a tribute to singer-songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker. As you'll hear, Steve Earle loves to chat, while Jay Farrar is a bit more subdued—a fact that these friends acknowledge right off the bat. But they get into a great conversation about their favorite subject: music—what they listened to growing up, the great shows that Earle saw as a kid, and even selling some weed to Leslie West of Mountain. Steve talks about missing the whole genesis of alt-country for good reason—he was in jail—but catching up with it, and with Son Volt in particular. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast and thanks to Jay Farrar and Steve Earle for chatting. If you liked what you heard, please follow Talkhouse on all your favorite podcasting services and social media channels. This week's episode was produced by Melissa Kaplan, and the Talkhouse theme is composed and performed by the Range. See you next time!

People usually have one of three different reactions when it comes to the band, Wilco. They either love them, think they're ok, or they've never heard to them. Nobody hates Wilco, from what I can tell. For this weeks Thanksgiving themed episode of TBCBYF, I chat with my childhood friend and Wilco aficionado Eugene Kim. Together we discuss Jeff Tweedy's first band with Jay Farrar, Uncle Tupelo, the pros and cons of the various members of Wilco, including early line-ups, the Jay Bennet days, and the current gang with Glenn Kotche and Nels Cline, why Wilco has become the definition of "dad rock," and how ex-Lounge Ax owner Susan Miller has been a pillar in Tweedy's life.

On this week's show, we... nerd out over last week's Son Volt show at The Visulite Theatre & The Outlaw Tour's stop at PNC Music Pavilion spend quality time with Mac McCaughan's new solo joint celebrate 30 years of Nirvana's Nevermind All this & much, much less! Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is over 2 rock-solid hours of musical eclectica & other noodle stories. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004.
Americana band Son Volt recently released Electro Melodier, and they are touring in support of the new album. We recently reached Jay Farrar, frontman and one of hte founding members of the band to talk about the album in advance of their show Sept. 7 at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville.
On today's show, VA Medical Center staff in Arkansas are taking in civilian COVID-19-stricken patients as part of their “4th Mission” to assist during a national emergency. Plus, a new recycling hub on line for northwest Arkansas, an interview with Son Volt lead singer Jay Farrar, and much more.
Andrew Wanko, Public Historian for the Missouri History Museum, stopped by to talk about the exhibition St. Louis Sound. Andrew Wanko St. Louis just can't stay quiet. The region has produced legends who are on a first-name basis worldwide, like Ike & Tina, Miles, Chuck, and Nelly. It's been home to the “Velvet Bulldozer” Albert King, the “Black Venus” Josephine Baker, and the original “king” of pop music, Scott Joplin. And don't forget world-class songwriters like John Hartford, Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, and Willie Mae Ford Smith. Few cities anywhere can claim so many leading lights in such a wide range of style. St. Louis Sound examines contributions to American popular music. This exhibit serves as your introduction to that music—it can't cover everything, but inside you'll find familiar tunes, deeper cuts, and a new musical outlook on the city you love. So lend the city your ears.
El comienzo hoy es una balada rompecorazones de Jesse Daniel, quien nos sorprendió el año pasado con su irresistible Rollin'On, deseando le haya ido bien a un antiguo amor, no como los Divorcees que han perdido la mano (de la chica, jaja) en New Brunswick. Amor (romántico y online) el que sentimos por Charlie Marie con su voz entre las grandes del country y sus canciones sobre los hombres descarriados. Jay Farrar y sus colegas de Son Volt, de los primeros para los que se aplicó el término alt-country, publican un disco de nombre evocando viejos amplificadores de los 40, con grandes canciones de americana. ¡Hay que leer las letras, queridos! Presentamos la versión en español del disco de Elvis Costello, This Year's Model, clásico de la nueva ola, que cuenta con el colombiano Juanes en el primer single. La parte country del programa de hoy termina con los californianos bluegraseros de Brothers Comatose y nuestra favorita outlaw Shannon McNally antes de escuchar unas cuantas piezas de blues y rock a cargo de los phillies Chestnut Grove, el legendario Johnny Tucker acompañado por el guitarrista Kid Ramos y un puñado de artistas, Bob Corritore entre otros, y la Altered Five Blues Band, de Milwaukee, al norte de Chicago. Nos vamos con lo nuevo de los Georgia Thunderbolts que vienen a añadirse al trono del rock georgiano donde reinan los Blackberry Smoke.⦁ Jesse Daniel, Lookin' Back⦁ The Divorcees, Losing Hand⦁ Charlie Marie, 40 Miles From Memphis⦁ Charlie Marie, Ramble On Man⦁ Charlie Marie, Heard It Through The Red Wine⦁ Son Volt, Livin' In The USA ⦁ Son Volt, Diamonds and Cigarettes⦁ Son Volt, Reverie⦁ Juanes, Pump It Up ⦁ Shannon McNally, Help Me Make It Through The Night⦁ The Brothers Comatose, Too Many Places⦁ Chestnut Grove, Ain't Got Nobody⦁ Johnny Tucker ft.

Fourteen songs comprise Son Volt's 10th studio album, which drops Friday. Its title comes from the names of vintage amplifiers — and also points to the album's blend of genres and return to “more melodic, uptempo, upbeat type songs,” Farrar tells host Sarah Fenske.
Growing up learning to play drums to his favorite LP's, Will Johnson earned an affection for the album as a beginning-to-end document from an early age. Aside from nearly two decades fronting the influential four-piece Centro-Matic, Will is known in Americana/indie-rock circles as being a serial collaborator: He's joined forces over the years in some capacity with Jason Molina, David Bazan and Jay Farrar among others, while also drumming for Monsters Of Folk, featuring Conor Oberst, M. Ward and Jim James. If that weren't enough, he's released seven records to date under his own name, but in March he dropped perhaps his deepest solo endeavor yet -- his first novel, titled If Or When I Call. On today's episode, Will speaks about his meticulous recording process, alphabetizing his record collection during the pandemic, the song Jason Isbell wrote about Centro-Matic, the recent loss of Hank Aaron, growing up with Sheryl Crow as his babysitter and which box set he never goes on tour without. Visit will-johnson.com to keep tabs on everything Will's up to, and support your favorite local bookstore by purchasing If Or When I Call from indiebound.org.

If you've ever wondered how much passion, dedication, patience, and determination goes into writing a great song, I give you the Rails. Consisting of James Walbourne and Kami Thompson, the Rails are an English rock duo with three albums to their name since 2014—each one written and recorded under vastly different circumstances. In this episode of For Songs, Kami and James dissect four of their tunes with disarming candor—Grace of God and Borstal from their 2014 debut Fair Warning, and Dictator and Ball and Chain from 2019's Cancel the Sun. Listen in as they discuss how much they've learned from working with such legends as Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, Shane MacGowan, Jay Farrar, and many others. Kami and James talk about how their writing style has evolved and and how they've come to find a strong place after making a critical lifestyle change. And stay until the end when we get into social media and receive a visit from one of their cats. So all the way from Camden Town in London, here are the Rails…
Wilco put out a new album in 2019 called Ode to Joy. To talk about it, Colin brings back historian and music expert Court Carney, a professor at Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas and a longtime Wilco fan. Together, Colin and Court discuss not just Wilco's new record, but the band's 25 year history. Court was a fan of Uncle Tupelo, an early-90s southern Illinois alt-country band that featured songwriters Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar, who would go on to form, respectively, Wilco and Son Volt. Initially, Court was on "team Jay" before becoming enamored with Jeff Tweedy's music. Since putting out his first Wilco record, Tweedy has been involved in various side projects, including Golden Smog and Loose Fur, as well as the memorable Mermaid Avenue sessions, where Wilco and Billy Bragg interpreted unfinished Woody Guthrie songs. Tweedy has also done solo work by himself and with his son Spencer. But Wilco endures. And how has the sonic journey of Wilco compared to other great bands, such as the Beatles, Dylan, and Led Zeppelin? Does Wilco's recent work measure up to expectations? Whether or not you love the latest record, Wilco still loves you, baby.

About This Episode Led by the songwriting and vocals of Jay Farrar, Son Volt was one of the most instrumental and influential bands in launching the alt.country movement, precursor to what is now widely referred to as Americana. Farrar possesses one of the most distinctive voices in roots, rock, country or any genre. He exudes a soulful longing combined with a wise-beyond-his-years command that is as arresting and compelling as ever. As a songwriter, Farrar's depth and poetic penchant has been the foundation of a thoughtful, deep and intelligent body of work. Son Volt's most recent album release was Notes Of Blue (Thirty Tigers). The 10 songs on Notes Of Blue are inspired by the spirit of the blues, but not the standard blues as most know it. The unique and haunting tunings of Mississippi Fred McDowell, Skip James and Nick Drake were all points of exploration for Farrar for the new collection. The album opens with the country soul of "Promise The World", followed by "Back Against The Wall", a song that could stand alongside the great Son Volt songs of their early albums. However, Notes Of Blue reflects the blues as it resides in the folk tradition, but heavily amplified. The primal stomp of "Cherokee Girl", the frenetic guitar on "Static" and the raw slide in "Sinking Down" exude grit and attitude. Conversely, tracks such as "The Storm" and "Cairo and Southern" seamlessly meld blues with hypnotic melodies that add a unique balance to Notes Of Blue. Whether you call it alt.country, Americana, roots rock, insurgent country or just good ol' rock ‘n' roll, musical trends appear and disappear on regular basis. Notes of Blue is a testament to the legacy of inspiration and creative spirit that Jay Farrar and Son Volt continue to uphold. This episode also features songs from Adam Herman and the Slamming Doors. This Iron Range group brings a lot more to the table than just being a run of the mill country band. The country edge is just a fraction of what is happening with this music. These are sounds and traditions many musicians assume are too mapped out, too well traveled for anyone to successfully create something fresh and new. And in the hands of most bands attempting to operate there, these sounds and traditions often do feel worn out. With The Slamming Doors the memorized map hasn't vanished, or been rejected, it has become Origami. About Michael Perry Michael Perry is a New York Times bestselling author, humorist and radio show host from New Auburn, Wisconsin. Perry's bestselling memoirs include Population 485, Truck: A Love Story, Coop, and Visiting Tom, and his latest, Montaigne in Barn Boots: An Amateur Ambles Through Philosophy. His first book for young readers, The Scavengers, was published in 2014 and first novel for adult readers, The Jesus Cow, was published in May of 2015. Raised on a small Midwestern dairy farm, Perry put himself through nursing school while working on a ranch in Wyoming, then wandered into writing. He lives with his wife and two daughters in rural Wisconsin, where he serves on the local volunteer fire and rescue service and is an intermittent pig farmer. He hosts the nationally-syndicated "Tent Show Radio," performs widely as a humorist, and tours with his band the Long Beds (currently recording their third album for Amble Down Records). He has recorded three live humor albums including Never Stand Behind A Sneezing Cow and The Clodhopper Monologues. Learn more about Michael and where to get his publications at www.sneezingcow.com.

After spearheading the alt country movement with Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar pursued his vision with Son Volt, who recorded three landmark albums in the ’90s before the groundbreaking artist put the band on extended hiatus and cut three solo LPs. Missing the free exchange of ideas and the surprises that inevitably occur when a group of simpatico musicians lock together, Farrar assembled a new lineup of Son Volt in 2004 and has since released five albums. Along the way, Farrar has collaborated with Ben Gibbard, Jim James, Will Johnson and Anders Parker to produce odes to Jack Kerouac and Woody Guthrie. The latest Son Volt album, Union, out March 29, confronts our turbulent politics and articulates the clarity and comfort music can offer in the tumult. Jay Farrar’s work often seeks out the ghosts of America's discordant or forgotten past, converses at length with them, and writes songs that stake a claim to a better future.
Episode 35 of 'The JamBase Podcast' features a double dose of "Tour Stories" segments after "The Rundown." Zach Gill tells tales of a wild "BBQ" at an ALO show, meeting the president and jamming with Eddie Vedder, while Son Volt's Jay Farrar recalls a pair of weird incidents during his time on the road.
Jay Farrar, lead singer and songwriter for the St. Louis band Son Volt, discusses their newest album "Union" with producer Alex Heuer

Matthew 1:18-25
Nothing too fancy to wrap up the year but I’ll sneak in a reference here and there. This hour includes a new tune from Billy Sedlymayr, an older tune from Brandi Carlile (we’ll save her new stuff for the second hour) and we’ll get a classic in from Bob Dylan. We start with Jay Farrar and the hope the coming year is better than this past year when it comes to promise.

Jeff Tweedy doesn't spend a lot of time reflecting on the past. But he awakened a whole lot of it while writing his new memoir. That means he has fresh thoughts on his mind about Jay Farrar, Uncle Tupelo, the early days of Wilco, and coming into his own as a musician and producer, which is on display in his new solo album, Warm. Jeff also talks with Marc about his experiences with mood disorders, painkiller addiction, parenthood, and converting to Judaism.

Jeff Tweedy's written a book that's incredibly open-hearted and honest. Let's Go (So We Can Get Back) A Memoir of Recording and Discording with Wilco, Etc. is a journey in music, friendship and family — from getting his first guitar (which didn't work out so well), to the formation of Uncle Tupelo with his friend, Jay Farrar, their surprising breakup and all the various incarnations of Wilco. It's filled with stories of insecurities, drug dependencies and thoughtful reflections. On this edition of All Songs Considered, host Bob Boilen talks with Jeff Tweedy about his remarkable life story, plays clips from the Penguin Random House audio version of Jeff's book and digs a bit into his new solo album called Warm, which addresses a lot of personal thoughts and feels like a companion to Jeff's book.

Also discussed: the seeming impossibility of Jay Farrar's voice, what's up with a Loverboy song, and where some bad places to pass out after drinking are. Songs covered are "Graveyard Shift," "That Year," and "Before I Break."
Our final Mixed Up Confusion for Woody Guthrie month looks at Woody's influence beyond Bob Dylan and onward toward the future, with projects like Mermaid Avenue and others. Part 1 (3:00) looks at other artists interpretation of Woody, featuring: Donovan, Ani DiFranco, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Bruce Springsteen, Alison Krauss, Country Joe McDonald, Ry Cooder, Old Crow Medicine Show, U2, Jimmy LaFave and Odetta. Part 2 (14:00) concerns Billy Bragg and Wilco's 1998 MERMAID AVENUE and the utter brilliance of Woody as a tender hearted and quite romantic songwriter. Part. 3 (45:00) looks toward the future. We listen to songs by the Dropkick Murphy's and Anti-Flag and delve into the other album interpretations of Woody's words with the Klezmatics, Jonatha Brooke, and Jay Farrar and Company.

Somehow I've managed to find myself concurrently watching the second installment of The Decline of Western Civilization (The Metal Years) whilst writing this up, which is pretty much apropos of nothing, other than if you haven't seen this brilliant documentary, you definitely should. Another work worth investigating is Uncle Tupelo's debut record, No Depression. Few bands can claim to have at least in some part founded a genre (in this case, alt-country, a.k.a. "y'all-ternative"), but in this instance it's apt. I've heard so many bands with lineage from this it's hard to quantify. These guys are now better known for the bands they directly spawned, namely Son Volt and Wilco. Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy co-quarterbacked a fantastic band that burned brightly and, ultimately, wasn't big enough for the two of them. So strap in, grab a load o' chaw (and maybe listen to a little Minutemen interspersed with Hank Williams if you need to warm up),and join us. You can pick up Uncle Tupelo's debut No Depression over yonder. Somebody Likes It **Jayhawks** - [Save It For A Rainy Day][8] A Few Minutes With **Kendrik Lamar** - [ELEMENT.][9]

It's been twenty years since Son Volt released their debut album Trace, which means it is up for repackaged remastered re-release and reappraisal. Always compared to Wilco thanks to their time together in alt.country pioneering band Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt finds Jay Farrar at his songwriting peak, easily shifting from uptempo rockers to acoustic slow burns with radio friendly production tying it all together.

The life of a musician is a lot of hurry-up-and-wait. Be in the lobby at 9am or you will be left behind - so you can wait for the bus - on which you will sit for the next 8 hours as you drive from state to state, town to town and gig to gig. Mark Spencer is the kind of musician who knows this mantra all too well. He has been a professional musician for most of his adult life, starting out as member of alt-country pioneers The Blood Oranges before joining Uncle Tupelo founder Jay Farrar's solo tours, a gig that eventually evolved into his present job as a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist for Son Volt. There have been a lot more gigs along the way, in the studio and onstage with artists like Lisa Loeb, Freedy Johnston, Jim Lauderdale, Wanda Jackson and a host of others. He produces artists out of his Brooklyn studio, The Tape Kitchen, and can be found on the road this year touring to promote Son Volt's latest album "Honky Tonk." Spencer also recorded "Honky Tonk" in Son Volt's hometown of St. Louis - as well as in his studio - and also learned how to play the pedal steel guitar to ensure the album stayed true to Farrar's goal to pay homage to the Bakersfield style of country music. I had a chance to catch up with Spencer after a Son Volt soundcheck at The Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, California as the band was wrapping up the Southwest leg of the Honky Tonk Tour.

On episode #38 we're again joined by guest Neal Schmitt to review one of Tim's favorite all-time albums, 1991's Still Feel Gone from alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo. There plenty to discuss on our first hour-long episode - the varied songwriting, lyrical and musical styles of co-lead singers/songwriters Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar, and the drumming of Mike Heidorn are rich for review. The discussion leads to this question: has there been another band since Uncle Tupelo that produced a pair of talented singer/songwriters?
