I'm not sure that you could rightfully call this band Son Volt since Jay Farrar is the only remaining original member. None the less, the biological father of Alternative Country has created another album to remind us all that the genre is not yet dead no matter how hard Jeff Tweedy tries to kill it. I haven't given this one much of a listen yet, but my earlier impression is that it is good, but not great. I really enjoyed their last album, Okemah and the Melody of Riot, and it took me a while to come around to it. So, I'll give this one a chance. Enjoy.
