Forming in 1994 after the break up of Uncle Topelo, American alternative country group Son Volt was meshed together by Jay Farrar. The group began after Farrar was introduced to Jim and Dave Boquist, meanwhile Uncle Tupelo’s final tour was still in motion. Combining musical talents together, the band took Mike Heidom- the drummer from Uncle Tupelo and began to rehearse and record in the Minneapolis area. In the middle of June 1994 Son Volt performed their first concert at the 7^th St. Entry in Minneapolis; which is commonly known as Prince’s concert venue. Although most of the band lived in the Twin Cities area, Farrar and Heidorn were located in St. Louis. Therefore, the band compromised to rehearse and record in both major cities for a few years.

Son Volt has a wide mix of musical sounds. They have been described as a quite folk/country similar to reminiscing on a young Bob Dylan. However, they also have rocker Neil Young spirit to them. All of which, they have acquired over years of musical experience.

Beginning with their first album, Trace, Son Volt made it to the top of many “Best-of” lists in 1995. Then on, in 1996 they released Straightaways and in 1998 it was Wide Swing Tremolo. Moving forward, they released an album in 2005 that highlighted the late 90’s era called A Retrospective: 1995-2000.

This upcoming February, Son Volt is releasing a new album, Notes Of Blue via Thirty Tigers. They explained in an interview that this album was inspired by the blue but it not your mundane “blues.” Notes Of Blue has come out with a clip from one of the songs “Cherokee Street”.
