Son Volt Music
Artist Overview
From the ashes of seminal alt-country band Uncle Tupelo arose two great 1990s bands fronted by Tupelo's two visionaries. Jeff Tweedy started the Stones/Big Star-loving Wilco, and Jay Farrar led Son Volt, a band that delved further into UT's country roots while exploring an elliptical lyric-writing style and incorporating the occasional alt-rock riff.
