Jay Farrar formed alt-country group Son Volt in 1994 after the breakup of Uncle Tupelo, in which he shared songwriting duties with Jeff Tweedy. Son Volt’s debut, 2005’s Trace, deepened Uncle Tupelo’s roots rock with fierce guitars and lovely melodies. Five years and two CDs later, Son Volt was dropped by its label, and Farrar put the group on hiatus, taking time to tour solo and release two solo discs. In 2004, after negotiations with fellow band members failed, Farrar assembled a whole new line-up and released Okemah and the Melody of Riot. The band’s latest disc is The Search. Son Volt's music style ranges from quiet folk/country ballads reminiscent of Bob Dylan to barhouse rockers in the spirit of Neil Young with Crazy Horse. Often considered a staple band of the alternative country movement, their music is perhaps better described as genre-spanning traditional American music.
