With Electro Melodier, Jay Farrar's band is still ploughing the furrow of honest and unadorned (though not dogmatic) americana. This beautiful album is endearing if not surprising. Between 1987 and 1994, Farrar and Jeff Tweedy were in Uncle Tupelo, one of the greatest americana outfits of the last century. When they split up, Tweedy left to form Wilco, and Farrar embarked on the Son Volt project.
Years later, the vitality of Jay Farrar's band remains intact, and the values of the 50-year-old Illinois songwriter are unchanged. The same can't be said for Tweedy, who has done a lot of experimentation with Wilco. With Mark Spencer, Chris Fame, Mark Patterson and Andrew DuPlantis, Farrar has made this tenth Son Volt album a treatise on musical authenticity. It's a perfectly balanced combination of rock'n'roll, country and folk, still carried by his poetic writing. It might seem rather run-of-the-mill, but as you listen, the songs endure, bed down and become frankly fascinating. © Marc Zisman / Qobuz
