Very strong.......2006-08-04

This is a very good performance by Son Volt of their early and mid-career songs (mostly from Trace and Straightaways, which most consider to be their two best records). The songs are good, the sound quality is excellent, and the editing and camera angles are revealing but not obtrusive. Jay Farrar is a taciturn performer, he basically stands and sings, but he's in fine voice, and the musicianship from the whole group shines. If you like SV, or have heard of them and want to see what they're about, you can't do much better than this DVD. Pick up Okemah and the Melody of Riot, which contains two bonus DVDs, for more good Son Volt audio/video.

Perfect Blend.......2006-05-26

This DVD is Son Volt at its best. It rocks - hard - on songs like Chickamauga, Route and Picking Up the Signal. But they can slow it down on songs like Too Early, Windfall and Tear-Stained Eye and pull them off with perfection. While this short concert leaves you wanting more (the new DVD has twice as many songs) it highlights the early career of Son Volt.

A must for fans of Son Volt and Alt-Country.

I never seem to get tired of Son Volt. Jay Farrar is a national treasure.......2005-10-31

The Austin City Limits is a great DVD. But I wanted to alert fans to the recent concert recorded at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. by NPR (10-21-05). It can be downloaded in its entirety on NPR's All Songs Considered website. It's a kick-ass concert from beginning to end. All the old favorites and tracks off the new album are here. Don't miss it!

The Son Shines.......2005-08-28

There is energy and life to this DVD. The lyrics are not always easy to understand, but the emotion is! As is the case with most of the Austin City Limits series there is much to enjoy here.

Excellent show!.......2005-08-15

I miss these days! I like Jay's current stuff but Boquist was a heck of a musician. He demonstrates his diverse abilities on this set with rockin guitar, banjo, electric slide, and a fiddle. Is there anything with strings he can't play? Jay looks like such a youngster but already commanded a presence with his unique voice and complex lyricism. I figured out how he plays 'Out of the Picture' by watching the DVD. If you like Son Volt or Uncle Tupelo, this one will make you smile over and over.
