US highway from north to south
It's history breathing
Get out from under the gun
Drive down Highway 61
Hannibal's son saw the Gold Rush
Saw the civil war done
Then settled down some
On Highway 61
There's no reason to feel downhearted
There's music in the wheels it's there to be found
Goodnight Irene inside the prison walls
Killed a man and lived to sing about it all
Stella 12 on Highway 61
The immigrant son left the mining town
Electrified the traditional
And had it out on Highway 61

Son Volt
Son Volt is an American rock band formed in 1994 by Jay Farrar after the breakup of Uncle Tupelo. The band's current line-up consists of Farrar (vocals, guitar), Andrew DuPlantis (bass guitar), John Horton (guitar), Mark Patterson (drums), and Mark Spencer (keyboard, steel guitar). In addition to playing alternative rock, the band is considered a staple of the alternative country rock movement of the 1990s. The band's sound also is rooted in folk rock and Americana. The band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2001, before reforming in 2004.

so we care who rockstars hate?
You are a good person! I like Son Volt - to me it has an organic, salt of the earth appeal - alt -country at it's best.
Me agree.

I think many - including me - would argue that technical accuracy does not necessarily translate directly into good art. In many cases, technical flaws can be outweighed by skill in another area - Bob Dylan, for instance. Or maybe you think he's a hack, too. If so, we have no basis for discussion.
In this case, everything I have heard from Son Volt makes me go out of my way, if necessary, to reach the mute button or change channels. If, however, you like it - good for you.
One of my closest friends likes Neil Young's music, but to him, any Bob Dylan song is like nails on a chalkboard. For me it is the other way around. We get a chuckle over it, and certainly respect each others opinion. The only jabs we take are in complete jest.
I'll get off my soapbox, at least until next year.
Brilliant insight. What do you do? Please let me know so I can criticize it from my unqualified vantage point - just as you have just done.
I happen to love the unique sound of his voice.
I'm hearing voices myself.

Great comment! I love Neil Young and Son Volt. Not much of fan of Dylan. But I respect your opinion and taste.
San Diego County is home to over 200 craft beers including some of the most famous and well respected breweries. https://yournorthcounty.com/gu...
Stag Beer doesn't impress.
Craft beers are hardly unique any more. I think the OP was just paying homage to a recognized brand with a long history.
Agree - I was trying to listen to the song, but all I heard was out-of-tuneness ... does he produce his own records?
Too pitchy?!? Well then it's really too bad that American Idol isn't around anymore for folks like you two.
Update: You can rejoice now... American Idol has returned.
