Son Volt - The Search

OK, so here's a special post for you guys......The new Son Volt album, due out next week, but here right now for you to preview.

Upon a quick listen it's a typical son volt album......Jay's not breaking any new ground here (well except for those horns on "the picture"). Some tracks that immediately stand out: "Methamphetamine", "Highways & Cigarettes", and "Action" (which sounds like it could be a leftover from Okemah). Like most Son Volt/Farrar albums......this ones probably gonna be a grower. Enjoy

Old 97's - Wreck Your Life

So in keeping with the theme of Alt-Country classics, I present the Old 97's 1995 masterpiece "Wreck Your Life"

Standout tracks include: Victoria, Doreen, Dressing Room Walls, Big Brown Eyes, Bel Air....there is really not a bad cut on this one. It also includes my favorite Old 97's song and one of my favorite songs of all time "The Other Shoe". Enjoy

Son Volt - Trace

So my first album on here might as well be the one from which this site takes it's name from......that's right, the Alt-Country masterpiece that is known to you and me as Trace.

This is a fantastic album and a great intro to this type of music. Standout tracks: Windfall, Tear Stained Eye, Ten Second News, Out of the Picture, Too Early, Drown.....pretty much the whole thing.

First Post

well Hi Y'all, I'm new to this but thought I would throw my hat in the ring.

This blog will be dedicated to country music that doesn't suck. None of that pop country bullshit you hear on the radio.
