Our Take

Ah, Son Volt, the alt-country band that's been kickin' around since 1994. In their debut album "Trace," they serve up a heaping portion of twangy goodness that'll have you yearning for a dusty barn dance.

From the opening track "Windfall," with its wistful lyrics and melancholic pedal steel guitar, to the rollicking honky-tonk vibes of "Drown," Son Volt has crafted an album that's as comforting as a warm biscuit on a rainy day.

Frontman Jay Farrar's voice is like a smooth glass of bourbon - deep, rich, and just a tad bit soulful. And the band's tight instrumentation is a perfect complement, creating a sound that's as satisfying as a plate of southern comfort food.

But don't be fooled by the laid-back vibes - there's a grit and intensity to Son Volt's music that keeps you on your toes. Tracks like "Tear Stained Eye" and "Route" pack an emotional punch that'll hit you right in the gut.

Overall, "Trace" is a timeless classic that's as refreshing as a cold beer on a hot summer day. So grab your cowboy boots and get ready to two-step your way through this album - Son Volt is here to take you on a wild ride through the wild west of Americana music. Cheers to that!

About the artist

Son Volt

Son Volt emerged from the alt-country scene in the early '90s, led by the enigmatic frontman Jay Farrar. With his distinctively gruff vocals and poetic songwriting, Farrar quickly established himself as a compelling voice in the roots rock genre. Their debut album, "Trace," released in 1995, is widely regarded as a classic of the alt-country genre. Packed with twangy guitars, melancholy lyrics, and infectious hooks, it remains a standout in Son Volt's discography. Farrar's songwriting is marked by a profound sense of longing and introspection, exploring themes of love, loss, and the complexities of the human experience. His introspective lyrics are perfectly complemented by the band's richly textured instrumentation, creating a sound that is at once nostalgic and forward-looking. Over the years, Son Volt has continued to evolve and experiment with their sound, incorporating elements of folk, rock, and even punk into their music. Despite their sonic diversity, the band's signature sound remains unmistakable, thanks to Farrar's distinctive vocals and evocative lyrics. With a career spanning three decades, Son Volt has cemented their status as one of the most influential bands in the alt-country scene. Their music continues to resonate with fans old and new, showcasing Farrar's enduring talent and artistic vision. Son Volt may have started as an alternative to the mainstream, but they have since become an essential part of the musical landscape.
