Blending rootsy, folkie traditions with ragged, spiky guitars, Uncle Tupelo helped kick Southern rock into a new era and lead the alternative country scene in the 1990s, before Jeff Tweedy went on to start Wilco with the bulk of the band and Jay Farrar and drummer Mike Heidorn re-emerged with the driving, indie-Americana group Son Volt. Growing up in St Louis, Missouri Farrar was originally inspired by his parents' record collection, which included classic rock like The Rolling Stones and The Faces alongside country and folk legends such as Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie. He went on to play in local band The Primitives with Tweedy before the pair formed Uncle Tupelo and defined a new sound that was equally inspired by the weathered country rock of Neil Young as the grungey grit of Dinosaur Jnr on landmark albums 'Anodyne' and 'No Depression'.
Forming Son Volt in 1994, their debut album 'Trace' felt like a backwater, honky-tonk road movie, full of rambling cinematic imagery and weary storytelling, and was named in the top ten of Rolling Stone magazine's end of the year list. Though critical acclaim didn't lead to commercial success, 1997's 'Straightaways' and 1998's 'Wide Swing Tremelo' cemented Farrar's reputation as a bottom-of-the-barrel, heart-aching songwriter, which he further enhanced on a number of stripped bare, acoustic solo albums in the early 2000s.
A new Son Volt line-up returned with the raw, alternative rock sprawl 'Okemah and the Melody of Riot' in 2005 before Farrar dabbled with Memphis Soul grooves and social commentary on 'The Search' and painted Springsteen-like portraits of blue-collar life on 'American Central Dust'. In more recent years Farrar has collaborated on albums with Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Hibbard and My Morning Jacket's Jim James and released Son Volt's ninth album 'Notes of Blue' in 2017.
