Yesterday I was visiting with my friend Cameron in his office and I noticed a magazine that had Wilco on the cover. We started talking about them and I lamented the fact that I missed their Memphis show earlier this month. This then led me to mention next month’s Son Volt show. Cameron looked at me quizzically and spoke one word that broke my heart for him, “Who?”

Somehow, someway, he had made it to his early 30’s without ever having listened to the great Son Volt or even to Uncle Tupelo, for that matter. So, after giving him a quick history lesson on the past relationship between Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and Son Volt’s Jay Farrar, we turned on this song and he was instantly hooked. I am proud to say that I helped introduce my friend to the greatness of Jay Farrar, so I wanted to share it with you as well. Enjoy.
