(1997)"Trace", released in 1995, is the first
album bySon Volt , a band which was formed byJay Farrar after the breakup of the influentialalt-country bandUncle Tupelo . It received extremely favorable reviews. According toAllmusic , "Throughout Son Volt's debut, Trace, the group reworks classichonky tonk and rock & roll, adding a desperate, determined edge to their performances. Even when they rock out, there is a palpable sense of melancholy to Farrar's voice, which lends a poignancy to the music.""Drown" was a minor college radio hit. All of the songs were written by Farrar except "Mystifies Me," which is a cover of a
Ronnie Wood song.Track listing
