7/12/23.

I've heard of both Modern Baseball and Slaughter Beach, Dog (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), but I don't think I ever listened. The common denominator between the two is the music of Jake Ewald.

Too bad I didn't tune in before now. Slaughter Beach, Dog's music scratches my itch for Americana. Think Tom Petty, Son Volt, and The War on Drugs.

But there's more at work here. There's a songwriting/melody structure that reminds me a bit of Zusammen Clark, Fortunato Durutti Marinetti or at times Black Country, New Road (without the orchestration).

Lame-O Records (Philadelphia) is releasing this in late September 2023.

Son Volt - Loose String

[sandybrett]

I'm trying to make WOE.BEGONE character playlists, and ironically I've got an Uncle Tupelo song on there ("So Called Friend", on Hunter's playlist) and a Son Volt song ("Out of the Picture", on Edgar's playlist), but no Wilco so far.

(For those who don't know, Uncle Tupelo basically split into two bands, Son Volt and Wilco, after the two main guys, Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy, had a falling out. Wilco is somewhat better known, but I'm a lot more familiar with the other two.)

Anyway, I will try to get some Wilco on there, as well as some Sufjan Stevens and Arctic Monkeys.

Rocking The Year Away: Simon Powell

Notes from a small island. Finally, Autumn’s here (or ‘Fall’ as I believe my colonial chums prefer it!) and we’re back into the proper ‘grown up’ seasons.  No more adverts with teeth-whitened, permatanned ‘eejits’ enquiring whether you’re body’s ‘beach ready’ in the accusative tone that suggests they’re talking about the latest pod of whales that’s lost its way and floundered!  At last, we’re…

May The Wind Take Your Troubles Away

From the 1995 Album, Trace, by Son Volt.   Have a great weekend, everyone. “If I were a “country star” working today, and I saw this, I would be embarrassed to be alive.”   @steverok67 . Windfall Now and then it keeps you running It never seems to die The trail’s spent with fear Not enough living on the outside Never seem to get far enough Staying in between the lines Hold on to what you…

It's a Good "Day of the Doug" with Son Volt Tribute LP

[bandcampsnoop]

11/8/23.

I've been a fan of Sophomore Lounge for years. From Bill Direen to Huevos, Ryan Davis' label (originally in Louisville, now in Jeffersonville, Indiana) has been releasing diverse sounds for going on 20 years.

It seems appropriate that the label's breakout release would feature Davis (also in State Champion) himself under the name Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band. Pitchfork reviewed it on November 3rd and gave it an impressive 7.9. This LP brings to mind Wilco, The Jayhawks, Son Volt and The Silos. One of the fans who bought this wrote, "David Berman was right when he called Ryan our [Louisville's] best living lyricist."

Joan Shelley is a guest vocalist. Check out her split single with Myriam Gendron on No Quarter.

Friday, June 16, 2023 8pm ET: Feature LP: Son of Volt - Day of The Doug (2023)

Son Volt is an American rock band formed in 1994 by Jay Farrar after the breakup of Uncle Tupelo. The band’s current line-up consists of Farrar (vocals, guitar), Andrew DuPlantis (bass guitar), John Horton (guitar), Mark Patterson (drums), and Mark Spencer (keyboard, steel guitar). In addition to playing alternative rock, the band is considered a staple of the alternative country rock movement of…

The great Uncle Tupelo split into two wonderful bands, Wilco and Son Volt. Jay Farrer wrote this gorgeous song early on and I continue to put it into my top 20 of all time.
