    My Good Friend John Springer, RIP. We had not seen each other in 4 decades. He recorded me back then Mingus , Monk, Miles, helping me expand my American Music roots of jazz origin. 1st thing after that time he asked what new am i into? I daid Son Volt & the guy he got started wilco.
    John said Son Volt, And senior Jay Farrar!!!

    I attended Jay, with Jeff, at this show, December 10, 1993 at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ. It was amazing. I was with singer/songwriter, John Eddie, who was quite inspired by the band. JFK, Jr. was in the audience and bummed a light off of John's female friend's cigarette - all tru.
    Critic's Choice/Pop Mending an Aching Heart
    by Karen Schoemer
    New York Times, December 10, 1993
    "Anodyne," the title of Uncle Tupelo's new album, is defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as a soothing or pain-relieving agent. For Uncle Tupelo, a trio from Belleville, Ill., who will perform this weekend in Hoboken, N.J., it's a code word for the kind of music that makes you feel better. The band's two lead singers and songwriters, Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy, have an obvious affinity for some of the most soul-stirring moments in country and rock history: "Anodyne" (Sire/ Reprise) has the rustic lilt of an old Hank Williams tune, the harmonic grace of the Flying Burrito Brothers, the loose rumble of the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street."
    From the pointedly unpolished production, crackling with fiddle, mandolin and pedal steel guitar, to songs like "Chickamauga" (named after the Civil War battle site), "Anodyne" is intentionally retro, an homage to mythically purer times. Mr. Farrar and Mr. Tweedy's allegiance to their roots borders on fetishism: they have even written an ode to Acuff-Rose, the company that published Hank Williams's material. "Name me a song that everybody knows, and I'll bet you it belongs to Acuff-Rose," Mr. Tweedy sings in his self-effacing twang.
    "Anodyne" is certainly derivative, but Uncle Tupelo isn't seeking to reinvent its sources, merely to honor them. The album has the hushed heaviness of a small-town street at midnight, the scratchy simplicity of a 78-r.p.m. record. "Anodyne" is about loving music, about the release that comes from playing a favorite song over and over, and about the ability of rock-and-roll to stop up the gaps in a bleeding heart.
    Uncle Tupelo is to perform at 10 tonight at Maxwell's, 1039 Washington Street, Hoboken, N.J. Admission: $8.

    Great show! Always preferred Jay's stuff over Tweedy, even back in the UT days, and it's baffling to me that Son Volt hasn't been able to maintain the same buzz factor they had in the 90's. They continue to excel. Cool to see other fans out there commenting from across the globe, and yeah, Jay is looking kinda like Ray Orbison LOL

      I disagree. Saw them a few times at local bar in Bloomington many many years ago. They were great and I still like the original lineup but this configuration blows my mind. More accomplished musicians and a sound that is so so sweet. If Jay is there it's good no matter the members on stage

    • @sparkytheenigma
      @sparkytheenigma 3 роки тому

      Stew Coe fair enough. Each to their own, that’s cool. I just think they’re a different band now. Maybe change the name from Son Volt to “Jay and cohorts” just my opinion, but I think the original line up contributed to the development of the overall sound. Those albums are breakthrough. All been a bit “alt country” by numbers since. Jay seems to be treading water surrounded by enablers.

    • @stewcoe8126
      @stewcoe8126 3 роки тому

      Seriously? The Boguist aren't enablers as well? There are no enablers. A musician does what it will. It's either good or bad or somewhere in between. But specifically the guitars now are far superior. Try listening to jay solo if you're questioning his talent. Lucifer Sam a perfect cover. Monkey man better than the stones live version by miles. I think Jay knows what is best for his band and he wore all these wonderful tunes without any cohorts. I've recently tried to listen to original lineup and for me, it's not even comparable to this lineup. Regardless, enjoy whatever music you like

      @@sparkytheenigma Absolutely agree. Ever wonder why Jay has had so many different band members over the years? Such a flat dynamic range to the bulk of his songs. Those early records had some intensity and different rhythms---- some edge. Sounds now like no one is around to challenge or inject and new and interesting ideas into his well worn cadence and rhythms. Yes men sounds about right. It's a big band but really a one man show
