DOWNLOAD: Son Volt - Down To The Wire

While his old Uncle Tupelo bandmate Jeff Tweedy went on to get weird with Wilco, Jay Farrar kept the alt-country torch burning in Son Volt, who are essentially the band equivalent of friends from high school you don't share any interests with but love just the same. Their sixth album, American Central Dust (out July 7th via Rounder), is being touted as a return to form after 2007's experimentally challenged The Search, and "Down To The Wire" confirms that in its straightforward prairie rock peachyness.
Sounds like: Slobberbone, Drive-By Truckers, Ben Nichols
