There's Nothing Greater Than A Jay Farrar Retrospective

 It's pretty hard to believe that it's been almost 28 years since Uncle Tupelo broke up.   I confess I soured a bit on Son Volt after their second album and didn't listen to them for a while, but man, just about everything he's done over the last ten years - especially 2013's Honky Tonk - whether as a solo act or in Son Volt, has been stellar.  I'm really hoping to see them on tour this spring and I also hope folks enjoy the career overview below.

Theo,

I love that cover! I would have put it in this compilation, but I already put it in a Kelly Willis compilation I put together many years ago.
