Your description is pretty accurate. Jay Farrar is amazing. His old partner
from Uncle Tupelo, Jeff Tweedy, founded Wilco. Sonvolt's acoustic stuff is
exactly like the country stuff I grew up on in the early 60s, but they rock
too.

Trace is one of my all-time faves. Probably be coming up soon at egbdf.info
