Lyric of the day: Son Volt's `Windfall'
Son Volt's debut album, 1995's "Trace," is one of the finest of any genre, not just alt-country. Fresh off the breakup of Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar formed Son Volt (electric blues).
The first song on "Trace" is an upbeat road song called "Windfall." It hit me flying out of New Orleans on Monday morning.
Happy Thanksgiving. ... May the wind take your troubles away. ...
"... Trying to make it far enough, to the next time zone
Few and far between past the midnight hour
Never feel alone, you're really not alone...
"Switching it over to AM
Searching for a truer sound
Can't recall the call letters
Steel guitar and settle down
Catching an all-night station somewhere in Louisiana
It sounds like 1963, but for now it sounds like heaven
"May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel,
May the wind take your troubles away."
