You should try Long Strange Tripel or Sixth Glass from Boulevard Brewing's Smokestack Series. Great, great beers in the Belgian tradition.

Steve Miller Band vibe for me, not necessarily a bad thing. First time I've heard of him/them. 7

I have always liked Son Volt and try to keep up with their music and somewhat musical chair members..
This is a great album —- in this song the instrumentation is super —A kickin'
tune, but at times in the vocals, Jay sounds like he is in a tug of war with the lyrics, straining to pull them from the sheet music. As if  he is "strained, groping-for-pitch" —(an accurate description, from this site) The rpm's aren't in sync with the pitch, which is not in sync with the intonation, or visa versa.  Still, this is a very talented group of musicians who 9 times out of 10——->> nail it !

What is up with Jay Farrar of late?  I love Jeff Tweedy's Wilco but still like Jay's work too.  I was a fan back when Uncle Tupelo was around...great stuff!

Thanks RP!

I don't mind Son Volt, I'm not familiar with Uncle Tupelo or Jay Farrar.

I don't care for Wilco much though.  I really liked their collaboration with Billy Bragg on the Mermaid Avenue CD's, so I picked up a CD of theirs, and was pretty disappointed.  Wound up giving he CD away.  Just seemed, for lack of a better word, derivative, uninspired, and unmoviing.

But I don't hate Wilco, and I don't mind hearing it on the radio once in a while.

 

Actually, Jay Farrar *is* Son Volt essentially, and basically half of Uncle Tupelo with Jeff Tweedy (of Wilco fame).

You know, I always said I'd never get to the point of saying "these kids nowadays" or stuff like that. But I swear, the lack of good taste amongst the listeners on here just by-God astounds me sometimes.

Don't anybody "go off", now. I've got an opinion, same as anyone else.

I just don't understand some of the "stone-throwing" on here, is all. {#Wave}

I feel pretty indifferent about this song, although it does stick in one's head.  It doesn't help that I hear it as, "You're Cousin It..."
