Jay Farrar – New York Time Interview

March 8th 2007 in Interviews, Video, alt.country

The New York Time has a interview video posted featuring Jay Farrar. Jay discusses the newly released Son Volt album, “The Search,” his relationship with ex-Uncle Tupelo bandmate Jeff Tweedy and magic of alternate guitar tunings. I still haven’t made myself listen to all of “The Search,” the whole “getting away from the alt.country” sound thing surrounding the release has me a bit spooked.
