 Jay Farrar Terroir Blues
| |
The man behind Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt continues to look backwards at classic folk and country while forging new studio sounds. This is a low-key, personable album that plays like early Bob Dylan dropping out and tuning in with the help of a swami who's channeling the wilder impulses of Peter Case and Tom Waits.
Like his former bandmate, Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy, ex-Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt leader Farrar fleshes out his slightly depressive alt-country tunes with spacey psychedelia, subtle electronic touches and arty experimentation. The big difference: Farrar's introverted neofolky material is pretty forgettable.CHRISTIAN HOARD (RS Read More
