I have no more hope for any Son Volt brilliance from Jay. I feel like this is the strongest foot forward but it's really like his best solo work from Terroir Blues rather than the strong feels and themes from any of the first 3 SV records. Missing Bouquists much? You bet. Their influence was greater than I thought.
@AmCatter: You said it! This is more like his solo work, less like what we heard on Trace and Straightaways. Funny that they're comparing this album to Trace. Maybe "Out of the Picture," but that's about it.
one of the best real song writers of today. Listen carfully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
