Reviews Customer Reviews for 6 String Belief      Neil Young's Heir Apparent      Rating:      From the opening "Who" to the closing and rousing "Chickamauga," Jay Farrar and Son Volt are as potent and pwerful as Neil Young with Crazy Horse at their very best. With disarming directness and simplicity, Farrar crafts subtle and sophisticated tales like Young with a view from the Midwest, much as Young's vision is infused part Canadian Prairie and part western dessert. Farrar has a unique voice that passionately deals with alienation, the loss of love, the political illwill and its deleterious effects on the common man in ways that only Neil and his cohorts ever dealt with as compellingly. The show is a small theatre, and thus, there is an intimacy to the recording and the video that is always lost in bigger venues. Unlike Young, Farrar seems more in control of where and how his music is presented, where there are times throughout Neil's career you just wonder..... Anyway, short of "Anodyne," there is almost any song you could want from his catalogue. And the band is spot on with every lick, fill, exploration in which they all engage. As wryly self-effacing as Neil, Farrar early on advises the crowd they are filming, so if they don't get it right, they'll have to do it all over. "6 String Belief" is a great title for the DVD: certainly Farrar's love for his craft pours out from his Gibson acoustic and Gretsch black with a crunch and conviction almost any artist would give their eye-teeth for. The 5.1 mix makes all this wonderful music even more "present" wherever you are. This is absolutely brilliant in every respect and there is an intriguing interview with Farrar as bonus material. But he says it all with his music. Perhaps one day, Farrar and Young will collaborate. Farrar is Young's heir in every best sense: the writing, the vocals, the playing - there is such an unaffected honesty to it all, that even more than thinking about Young working with him, you hope Tweedy, Heidorn and Farrar would convene Uncle Tupelo just one more time. It would break your heart if they never did...     Customer Reviews for 6 String Belief Cd      Great DVD......      Rating:      If you are a Jay Farrar/Son Volt fan this is a must own. Even if you are just a fan of good rock and roll music this is the dvd for you. The Volt rocks out on every song spanning their entire catalog.
