• Interview Outtakes: Son Volt's Jay Farrar

  In this week's paper, I interviewed Son Volt's Jay Farrar. SV's latest, American Central Dust, arrived in stores last week. He spoke about song inspirations (and a forthcoming project with Ben Gibbard) in print; below find more talk about side project Gob Iron, and the connection between Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt's new label, Rounder Records. For other tidbits about the band, Son Volt drummer Dave Bryson's blog is recommended (and hilarious) reading. It wouldn't be out of the ordinary to find ph

• Tomorrow! Vintage Vinyl In-Stores from Cavo, the Bottle Rockets

  It's been quite a good few months for St. Louis bands in terms of national exposure. First, in June, So Many Dynamos released The Loud Wars on Vagrant Records. A few weeks later, Son Volt's Rounder Records debut, American Central Dust, hit stores. And now tomorrow finds the national release of two excellent new albums from local acts: Lean Forward from twangy mainstays the Bottle Rockets, and rock vets Cavo's Reprise Records bow, Bright Nights Dark Days. ​

  Jay Farrar and Ben Gibbard are playing four shows in October, to celebrate the release of their Jack Kerouac-inspired collaboration, One Fast Move Or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur. The closest tour date is October 26 in Chicago at Lincoln Hall -- and judging by the band backing the pair, a road trip might be a no-brainer: The band features Jay Farrar (Son Volt), Benjamin Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie, Postal Service), Nick Harmer (Death Cab for Cutie), Mark Spencer (Son Volt) and Jon Wurster (

• Show Review: Son Volt at the Pageant, Friday, November 6

  No matter how many people he knows at a St. Louis Son Volt show, Jay Farrar will always be the guy who played a big part in creating the "alt. country" genre. Twenty years after Uncle Tupelo's heyday, Farrar and the current Son Volt line-up stay true to their roots without being strangled by them, presenting a set that sometimes rocks, sometimes twangs, and always remains heartfelt and honest. Son Volt's Friday night show opened with the twang-free "The Picture." Without the horn section from
