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".
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

Capo 2nd fret
[Verse 1] DG Walkin down Main Street, gettin' to know the concrete AD Lookin for a purpose from a neon sign. G I would meet you anywhere western sun meets the air AD I'll hit the road, never lookin' behind.
[Chorus] DEm Can you deny, there's nothin' greater GD nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
[Banjo Solo] DEmGD
[Verse 2] DG Seein' traces of the scars that came before AD written in the pavement, still askin' for more G when the hours don't move along, worn-out wood and familiar songs AD To hear your voice is not enough, is more than a shame.
[Chorus] DEm Can you deny, there's nothin' greater GD nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
[Solo] DEmGD DEmAD
[Verse 3] DG Like a man said, rode hard and put away wet AD throw away the bad news and put it to rest G If learnin' is livin', and the truth is a state of mind AD you'll find it's better at the end of the line.
[Chorus] DEm Can you deny, there's nothin' greater GD nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.

DEm St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
