Event
Cowboy Junkies / Son Volt
Cowboy Junkies: Although it didn't originally have anything to do with their sound, the Cowboy Junkies' name wound up seeming pretty accurate: their music was grounded in traditional country, blues, and folk, yet drifted along in a sleepy, narcotic haze that clearly bore the stamp of the Velvet Underground. The vast majority of their songs were spare and quiet, taken at lethargic tempos and filled with languid guitars and detached, ethereal vocals courtesy of Margo Timmins. Over the late '80s and '90s, the group recorded a succession of critically acclaimed albums that found favor in the alternative rock community. Their latest limited edition outputAcoustic Junk¬taps into the bands essential sound by stripping down the music to its core.
Son Volt: With an alternative country sound, Son Volt, featuring St. Louis-based artist Jay Farrar, spans the great country traditions of Americafrom salt-of-the-earth ballads to soaring barroom rock. Son Volts latest album, The Search, takes Farrars signature juxtapositions of the arcane and the modern to provocative extremes, contrasting the blue highways of a disappearing cultural landscape with a perilous world in which the center no longer holds.
