After the major alternative country movement with his band, Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar pursued his vision with Son Volt, who recorded three groundbreaking albums in the jaren'90 for the pioneering artist who expanded the band gap and cut three solo records. Now back with his third Son Volt album of the decade, Jay Farrar has to be his best work yet, U.S. Central Dust. The new album exhilaratingly carries the tradition of Byrd, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Little Feat about Sailin 'Shoes, the Rolling Stones from Exile on Main Street and early REM, with stand outs such as the exceptional "Down to the Wire", " Dynamite "and" no turning back. "An epic lament for the heartland, American Central Dust is populated with easily identifiable characters, the lot of them looking for love against a backdrop of abandoned factories and rusted signs.
