Son Volt, American Central Dust

Airborn,

What did you think of this new release?

I have given it a spin a few times and my initial impressions are positive. While nothing Son Volt has released since "Trance" has lived up to that album from a musical or commercial perspective , I think this one could wind up being a close second after I get more time with it.

George

George,

Its funny you ask that, because originally I was going to post that this was my favorite Son Volt release since Trace, except maybe for Okemah and the Melody of Riot, which I just think really rocks and is my fave by Jay Farrar and crew. Maybe it's the anti-George Bush sentiment, I dunno.

Then I thought, nah....nobody's interested in that and this is a thread about what your listening to, not what you think and besides if somebody doesn't know Son Volt I should explain that the current band is totally different than the band that recorded Trace, except for Farrar, etc....Eventually, I talked myself out of posting anything except the album cover.

I think this is a long way of saying I totally agree that this cd is really strong and seems to be Son Volt's best work in a long time. I've only listened a couple of times, but it seems to be growing on me, which is always a good sign.

Steve,

Thanks for the great reply.

Thanks George. Btw, I've picked up a lot of good music from your posts in this thread.

I have most all of The Band's albums, but none of Levon Helm's solo work. I picked this up based upon the positive postings here at AC and was not disappointed. Hard to believe this guy had throat cancer. I especially like his version of Garcia's "Tennesse Jed" that opens the cd and the original tune "Growing Trade" about the plight of small farmers forced to grow alternative "crops." I might have to get "Dirt Farmer" now.

Levon Helm, Electric Dirt

Grieg - Peer Gynt. So-so sound quality, but the dynamics on the 4th movement, The Hall Of The Mountain King, is fantastic. In my opinion, I think this performance is more emotionally felt than the more celebrated Leonard Bernstein (Sony) recording.
