  • Overall:

    Definitive roots music.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 12, 2001

    From the man who invented No Depression music comes perhaps the strongest album the genre has ever produced. Slow country/folk tunes like "Windfall," "Tear-Stained Eye," and "Too Early" will stick with you after one listen (in the least annoying way... possible). Rockers like "Live Free," "Drown," and "Route" will give you a burst of adrenaline that Farrar will make sure to quickly shoot down with another crop of country tear-jerkers. While there is not a bad song on the album, the highlights are "Ten Second News," a Neil Young style minor-key acoustic trudge through the pitfalls of the Midwest's tragic mediocrity, and "Mystifies Me," a cover of an obscure Ron Wood song that surpasses the original by miles. While the lyrics to a handfull of the songs can be downright baffling, Farrar's wordplay and symbolism are at once intriguing and frightening. Farrar's vocals never disappoint, nor do the cutting distorted guitar lines, and the harmony vocals are incredible. However at first listen, the drums on "Route" and other such rockers seem to need a dash of power, but this is the true brilliance of Son Volt. Every move made by this band is a reflection of a mood, and the sleepy rock drumming of Mike Heidorn seems almost a call to arms against the blasphemy of mediocre rock's soulless power-hitters and a return to the days of steady humble rhythms of greats like Ringo Starr. I highly recommend this album. Read more Less

    Driving in America at it's best

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 6, 1999

    An album that will know no bounds as to it's driving appeal. Hitting the road with two feet on the floor, both hands on the wheel letting the wind take your trouble away. It's an American classic. Something that started it's own genre, unfortunately... they haven't gotten the respect they deserve. Pick it up, this is where it all started, you won't be dissapointed.
