@jczother Two great bands, there's no doubt. Sun Volt and Wilco are great. I guess all I meant to say was, Uncle Tupelo is a more powerfull band than the two splinter groups. My first experience with Farrar's and Tweedy's sound is with Tupelo, not with either Wilco or Volt. That is to say, my experience with Volt and Wilco is a linear progression from the break-up of Tupelo. I can't help but compare Wilco and Volt to what came before...reasons for the break-up aside.

So much better than the shite being put out today by so-called musicians. 7 stars!

@MickeyYahoo puuhhleeze, Wilco is just as much a solo project with a band name as anything that ever was...Tweedy and Stirratt are the only original members..otherwise the entire band has changed...everyone may be treated like its a big family and maybe it was a genuine band in the beginning there, as that's what Tweedy knew and he was obviously not prepared [or wanted] to become Jeff Tweedy...anyway that was a long time ago...Wilco *is* Jeff Tweedy, and vice versa...anyone else is replaceable

@olddude1800 I agree with you about Jeff's voice, but Wilco is an awesome band with great guitar players. Son Volt is a solo project with a band's name.

awesome version of this song.... jay & jeff rockin' the ramones mullets too, love it!

[olddude1800]

Corrections. Jary Ferrar is not dead. He lives in South St. Louis and still writes and records. The Bottle Rockets did not come from UT. They began with three former members of Chicken Truck: Brian Henneman., Tom Parr and Mark Ortmann, along with a string of bass players. Only Brian and Mark are left in the band. Brian did sit in with UT alot. As for Wilco, I will never understand the popularity. I find Jeff's voice annoying, except when he's backing up Jay in UT.

@TheAdvocateMan ....the bottle rockets were brian Hennamens band way before tupelo ever split,....saw them open for them & play together many times.

@myndseye711 Jay Farrar is still very much alive.

It's Jay Bennett (very much co-creator of SUMMERTEETH and YHF) who we sadly lost.

What an awesome song. They sure don't sound like a band that was days away from disbanding. Jay's playing is soulful, and his voice is incomparable. And Jeff's bass playing is really good. I wish I could have seen them live.

[Geoffsdad]

I don't mean to whine, but how the hell are there only 2 versions of this song on youtube? Must have more!!!

[Sculldog100]

Son Volt's Trace is better than any Wilco record. Just my opinion. Nobody seems to recognize SV. I know some younger people who think Wilco is like the best band in the world, and they've never even heard a song by SV.  Don't get it.
