Going for broke in a film noir smile
Know it's hard to your easy start
You don't let the clicks or injustice get you down
There's more to find than what you pick up
Sometimes the furthest isn't quite enough
Shadows are good companions for the lot that you say
The world's deserted and down
Like there's no love around
The river of life cuts across
Hearts no longer entwine
Words shine on like precious stones
Judgment day, the truth be known
The miles and years make it better
Through gilded tears
Race around to the rattling drone
Diamonds in the distance make the battle sound
Equilibrium found on the outskirts of any town
The world's deserted and down
Like there's no love around
The river of life cuts across
Hearts no longer entwine
Words shine on like precious stones
Judgment day, the truth be known
The miles and years make it better
Through gilded tears
Miles and years make it better
Through gilded tears

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.

The Main Mix
Being an idiot is a choice for most people. You know how to use a computer so you can't really be this stupid, can you?
Growing up in Belleville IL will do that to a person.
Wonder if he gets back there...to drink Stag Beer.
Just did my part with a 10, which it's not but neither is it a 5.7. Had to boost it, always loved that Son Volt, Wilco, Farrar end of things.
I have to agree. I saw Farrar in a basement venue in Cardiff, Wales, back in about 2005/6, and he was mesmerising. His band was also superb. Such a unique sound, and 'Barstow' was a particular highlight.
Classy
Just my take on it... I find this just fine, but been there done that. Can't say there's anything wrong with it except it doesn't feel original - it sounds like a dozen other artists I've heard many times over.

I'm betting on the answer being YES.
Just to remind folks what great music there was was for a brief period in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
This !!!
I imagine that tour all the time. So many great, great songs that may never, ever be played again. Pity. Have you ever considered, though, how odd it would be, since Wilco are bigger than Uncle Tupelo? Tweedy in large clubs - his head might be too big for that...
