Description:

Neues, 10. Album der amerikanischen Folk Band Son Volt um Vocalist Jay Farrar (Uncle Tupelo). Erneut begleitet von der aktuellen Son-Volt-Besetzung - Keyboarder/Steel-Gitarrist Mark Spencer, Bassist Andrew Duplantis, Gitarrist Chris Frame und Schlagzeuger Mark Patterson - nimmt Farrar eine leichte Abkehr vom politisch pointierten "Union" des Jahres 2019 hin zu einer Reihe von Songs, die eher Fragen stellen, als Antworten zu fordern - man denke an "Living in the U.S.A." als Farrars Version von Bruce Springsteens "Born in the U.S.A.", ", Neil Youngs "Rockin' in the Free World" oder Patti Smiths "People Have the Power", eine Hymne zur Vereinigung der BevÃ¶lkerung. HÃ¶rt man sich "Electro Melodier" an, das mit "Reverie" beginnt, das Farrars kontemplativen Zustand beim Blick aus dem Fenster beschreibt, belebt von Mark Spencers "Wichita Lineman"-Gitarrenriffs und den Ã¼ppigen Big Star-Melodien, fragt man sich, warum keine anderen Rock 'n' Roll-Bands oder Singer/Songwriter solche Alben Ã¼ber das machen, was wir alle gerade durchmachen. -

2020 was not quite what Jay Farrar was expecting for the 25th anniversary of Son Volt, the band he started in 1995 after leaving the seminal group Uncle Tupelo, whose No Depression album helped define the alt-country and Americana genre. The group had just finished an Outlaw Country Cruise when the pandemic hit and sent them into their homes on lockdown. Instead of a triumphant tour marking the illustrious landmark, Farrar was forced indoors by the pandemic, and his "Reverie" during that time helped define Electro Melodier, Son Volt's 10th studio album - and third for influential Nashville indie Thirty Tigers. The title, taken from the names of two vintage amplifiers from the late '40s and early '50s, also describes the disc's unique blend of folk, country, blues, soul and rock - an electric troubadour with melodies that hit and stick. Social protest songs like "Living in the U.S.A." and "The Globe," the former about the promises of this nation gone wrong, the latter referencing the street protests accompanying the Black Lives Matter movement, exist side by side with odes to long-term relationships (specifically his 25-year marriage) in "Diamonds and Cigarettes" and "Lucky Ones."
