Jay Farrar fundó Son Volt tras la separación de la famosa banda de country Uncle Tupelo (1987-1994). Editaron su debut en 1995 titulado "Trace" y en 1997 sacaron "Straightaways", ambos disfrutaron de parabienes tanto de la crítica como del público. Sin embargo, tras el lanzamiento de "Wide Swing Tremolo" (1998), empezaron los rumores de su separación. Farrar se lanzó en solitario antes de reformar Son Volt, con un nuevo equipo, en el 2004. El resultado fue el lanzamiento del político álbum "Okemah and the Melody of Riot".
