Son Volt

Son Volt was formed by Jay Farrar in 1994 after the breakup of Uncle Tupelo. The group formed after Farrar had met Jim and Dave Boquist during the final Uncle Tupelo tour.

Together with former Uncle Tupelo drummer Mike Heidorn, the band rehearsed and recorded in the Minneapolis area in late 1994. Son Volt is often considered the closest continuance of Uncle Tupelo's alt-country/Americana sound and musical legacy.

In 2001, Jay Farrar began to release solo efforts that postponed further releases from Son Volt. Farrar reformed with the original members and they intended to record once again in 2004, however negotiations reached a standstill, so Farrar formed a new version of the band with a different line-up and released an album and a subsequent live CD and DVD before their 2007 album The Search.
