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".

::::::::: Too Early ::::::::: Jay Farrar from Son Volt, "Trace"
GC Mileage has taken its toll, painted with lines to show, AmEmG D You've had your fill of asphalt, cough tremors and smoke-filled doors. GC Look like the habit controls you, look like you need a rest, AmEmGD You've made it to the teller line, don't know what to expect.
(chorus) AmC God knows you don't need it, EmG Too early you might be the one. D Find yourself someone else, C Too early in the sun.
Song strains distant over the barroom drink-filled roar, The old folksinger lays it down, not for long, no longer ignored. Spinning tales of temptation, of gambling days lost and won, No crimes committed here, too much habit could be the one.
(chorus)
Never seen half of what you've seen, real life never quite adds up. The road goes on when the faces don't, word of mouth never tells the truth. I'd like to hear your story told with a two-step beat and rhyme, Could be Tennessee or Texas, on and on the mad road winds.
