a great cd! my husband had all his cd's stolen a couple of years back and i've finally gotten around to ordering him replacements. this was one of them that he was most excited about. i like Son Volt's cd's because we can put it in and listen to the whole cd and like every song. that's rare with us. :)
Customer Reviews for Trace Cd
A Classic
Rating:
This is Son Volt's debut CD and Jay Farrar's first release post-Uncle Tupelo. Lyrically and melodically exciting, Jay has come close but not quite surpassed the utter brilliance of this album. It's one of those right time, right place situations. If this album hadn't have been so good Wilco might not have tried to counter it with Being There. But it's unfair to bring them into this. This CD is a cornerstone of the genre of whatever you wanna call it. This record contains some of the most timeless songs ever written. I'd love to see Jay collaborate with someone like John Prine or Louden Wainwright...I can't imagine it but I'd love to see it.
Editorial Reviews for Trace Audio Cd
Amazon.com essential recording
Trace is obsessed with time. "Can you deny there's nothing greater ... than the traveling hands of time?" asks frontman Jay Farrar early on, and song to song, he deliberates time's tyranny. Farrar's voice always sounds beaten but never quite broken here, and when on the impossibly catchy "Windfall" he wishes "may the wind take your troubles away," it feels like nothing short of a blessing. Trace is alternative country's most perfect moment: the Uncle Tupelo-ish electric crunch rocks for something better, even as its twangy steel and fiddle never forget the very country fact that time will beat us all. --David Cantwell
