Sun Volt, Redux
Reported by erun
As reported, Jay Farrar was back in the studio, putting together a new Son Volt album. Guess what? He's also compiling a Rhino Records anthology for release May 24th. Alongside the band's classic album cuts, the two-CD set features demos and rarities, including covers of Woody Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen's , and Del Reeves.
The new album is not the Sun Volt you remember (who were last seen recording a song for Por Vida, the Alejandro Escovedo benefit album), but is now guitarist Brad Rice, bassist Andrew Duplantis, drummer Dave Bryson and steel guitar player Eric Heywood.
