Bob Dylan & Neil Young think it's just fine to have an easily identifiable "whiney" voice. I agree with them. |

"Really not mad at anyone
You're just mad at the world"
I'm trying not to be that person anymore, maybe that's why I like this song. I like most anything the Uncle Tupelo boys do though.

It may be that the whole appeal of alt-country and its predecessors is that it's a little OFF. Maybe that's what sounds good to some of us. I don't hear the flatness in the voice, but I think I understand when you say "dissonant harmonies." Meaning imperfect harmonies? I like that. |

Wow, been too long since I've listened to this great song from Jay's 1st solo album. Was somewhat underwhelmed by the album but always loved this song big time.

Yes! Can I quote you on that?  How's that for lifting a quote out of context?! |

This song suddenly made me feel like I was at Grateful Dead concert. Not sure why other than Jay's voice reminds a bit of Phil Lesh.

I've always appreciated Son Volt but was never much of a fan (just didn't really grab me). But this one is really nice. I like the way the song is constructed. Or something like that . . .

Yeah, plus the drumming takes some chances, and Farrar for once stretches himself as a singer. Interesting track. Wonder what it means. |

Yep, I said to myself - Sun Volt! as soon as I heard this. He's got a really distinctive voice. |

I do miss Tupelo, but this stuff is pretty killer...
