Alongside the band's classic album cuts, the two-CD set features demos and rarities.

"I was thinking about artists I like, whether it's Bob Dylan or R.L. Burnside, and all the unreleased stuff they've put out there," Farrar says, "and it motivated me to dig through the vault a bit."

Among the highlights is Son Volt's...

Album: Stone, Steel & Bright Lights
Review: As a founding member of Uncle Tupelo in the late-Eighties, Jay Farrar helped define a new genre of American roots music that borrowed as much from rock & roll as traditional country. But in the time since dissolving the group, Farrar has become a folk troubadour whose songs are meant for the road -- full of post-modern poetry that reveal truths about the shape our lives have taken in an increasing... ]]> Album Review : Sebastopol http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/jayfarrar/albums/album/215814/review/5945733/sebastopol http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/jayfarrar/albums/album/215814/review/5945733/sebastopol?source=jayfarrar_rssfeed Mon, 03 May 2004 06:36:09 PDT Photo Artist: Jay Farrar

Review: On his first solo album, Jay Farrar ventures a bit beyond the rustic string-band approach that made Americana pioneers of his old groups, Son Volt and Uncle Tupelo.

Album: Terroir Blues
Review: 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.
