He puts on a great show! Is he still touring with Canyon? They sound better when they back him up! I've seen him twice! :thumbsup:

6. I saw him with just Mark Spencer back in 2003. |
|
That was nice, but when he had Canyon with him, he sounded SO much better.
My advice on Son Volt - listen to all the CDs, then take the best of all of them and make a mix cd. Their cds are hit and miss. Some genius stuff, and a lot of not-so-genius stuff.

I've been listening to Jay since "No Depression" w/ Uncle Tupelo; UT are probably my favorite band of all-time.
If you like Jay/UT/Son Volt, you'd love Richmond Fontaine, who I think are the best band in America at the moment. Willy Vlautin has been compared to Jay voice-wise, but I always thought it was a straight cross between Jay and Jeff Tweedy. Vlautin's songs are wonderfully melancholy stuff; short stories w/ some scorching guitar and sad, sweet pedal steel to color the songs. "Lost Son" is my favorite CD, but all of them (including their new CD "Post To Wire")are must-haves. On my internet station they are staples..
