Jay Farrar Wears Blundstones

On April 20, almost on a whim, a friend and I went to see Son Volt. They were playing at a local club in Little Rock. I was skeptical because I’m sort of done with them. I wish Jay Farrar would move on and do something different with music.

Turned out to be a great concert. The band was great, as was Farrar. The venue was small and, sort of sadly, as a testament to Son Volt’s fading star, not too packed. I mention that because we were able to get up from our table and walk to the edge of the stage. I was close enough to clearly see the pull tabs on Farrar’s Blundstones. His boots were very beat; it made me like him more.
