Son Volt @ the Paradise

last month ex-Uncle Tupelo mainstay Jay Farrar had reconvened Son Volt (after playing solo and as Gob Iron) for a new record and tour. mostly famous for kickstarting the alt.country movement and lending the name to the _No Depression_ zine which covered it, UT was a pivotal band for sure. the 1st post-UT lp was excellent (_Trace_), but gradually Jay lost his way. however, the new record's a pretty strong return to form and has a few real shining moments (including the R&B flecked single "The Picture", which they performed on Letterman last month).

#1 Jay

Interesting ... I like 4 & 6. I've shot Ingram a few times and have some images of Chris. It always surprises me seeing sidemen show up with different bands even though I know the good ones are constantly working with somebody new.

Yup!

Wow, those are cool... I prefer # 6 from the first set... but they are all very good as a set...

Narlus, again... you have great taste in music. UT were great and i have no reason to believe they are otherwise today. Do you travel a lot or are you lucky enough to be near a or a few good venues?

Really cool stuff, I love UT/Son Volt. When are you going to shoot Tweedy?

Very cool...

Are these your "cup o' meat'..LOL

One of my all time favorite shots.

hey moemoe, thanks. i'm lucky enough to live about 25 miles outside of boston, and while it's no NY or LA, a lot of good shows get booked here.

bacchanal, i was gonna apply for a photo pass for when Wilco rolls into town, but i'll be on vacation (in germany/amsterdam!) during that time.

taygull, UT is certainly my cup o' meat, and while i'm not a rabid son volt fan, i do like a decent amount of their stuff.

thanks for the comments all.

So Narl,

My wife and I want to come up to your part of the country this fall....HOOK US UP!

Nice set. I like #2, 5 6 and 8 in particulair.
Can't help but nagging about the blues in #1 however: Solid 'block of color' in the highlights... If you've got the time, try a few different RAW converters: DPP does okay, and so does LR (after a bit of tweaking).

nice narlus. i love 3. 1 is nice but the blues seem to have issue. it looks like the lighting was tough, which is why the b/w seems to be the favorite. i don't think i even did anything with my shots from the last time i shot son volt. i do like that fact that son volt's new album seems to be getting better reviews than wilco's new one. that is a shame that UT didn't work out.

what sort of meat would you like yr cup filled w/ ?

you gonna be in boston?

René, the lighting in this venue can be tough at times, really saturated blues. i spent a few minutes w/ DPP last week but was floundering.

thanks again for the comments, appreciated.

Right now, I'm watching the "Gilmore Girls" on the Family Channel and they are all at the "Bengals" concert... Is that your cup of tea guys?

Edit: It's gotta be a New Englander thing...

Narlus i love Number 2 that is a crakin shot,
Nice one bro, and great set all round.
