Count on Son Volt
Jay Farrar is proof that consistency can be its own reward. In the nearly 20 years that he’s led Son Volt, Farrar has kept his head down and simply made music, rarely exceeding his reach.
It’s an approach that may ultimately lack excitement — Son Volt will never announce that it’s made an experimental album — but also one on which you can rely. Son Volt has released eight albums, and the worst you can say about any is that they tend to be interchangeable.
But Farrar sometimes finds an especially sweet spot, and the new “Honky Tonk” is one of them. Inspired by classic country, it has the feel of a Bakersfield tavern while still sounding like Son Volt, with a splash of Farrar’s blue-collar poetry wrapped around fiddles and pedal steel.
Son Volt returns Sunday to Headliners Music Hall, 1386 Lexington Road, with Colonel Ford opening. Showtime is 8 p.m. and admission is $18 at the door.
