Singer/guitarist Jay Farrar follows down the same path of heartfelt country/rock as his former band, the influential alternative-country trio Uncle Tupelo. After a seven year hiatus, Son Volt returns with a new album, 'Okemah and the Melody of Riot,' with a 20 track compilation and live DVD. Son of country troubadour and namesake Bobby Bare, this alt-country artist earned a Grammy nomination when he was five and has since earned accolades for leading the raucous southern rock group, Bare Jr. Now, he steps out on his own as a solo artist.
