A história do Son Volt começa com o término do Uncle Tupelo, banda seminal para o que convencionou chamar de alternative-country (ou alt-country). Enquanto Jeff Tweedy seguiria adiante com o aclamado Wilco, buscando novas referências que não apenas a música norte-americana de raíz, Jay Farrar permaneceria firme em suas convicções formando o Son Volt.

::::::::: 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.
