Go buy it. NOW! Trust me, you won't regret it. This is easily Jay Farrar's best work since "Trace".
Man I've been meaning to get this one. Couldn't find it at the A and B here in Calgary last week though.

Was it the one down south? That store sucks. Everytime I go in there looking for something a little bit obscure, like Son Volt, they never seem to carry it. The one up north near Sunridge has a MUCH better selection. I ended up finding a copy at Megatunes for $20.99. It's one of those dual-disc releases with the album on one side and a DVD on the other side featuring a documentary on the making of the album. Pretty cool stuff.
Futureshop had it for $16.99 online, but it was one of those dualdisks with a DVD on the otherside. I bought the Ben Folds like that and the CD side was a little flakey in my CD players
*update*

For those who are interested, Son Volt are playing Letterman tonight.

Ya, it was the A and B down South. I have a buddy that lives right around there so it's a handy place to go. They used to have a better selection but I've been pretty dissapointed lately.

I'll find it though, I'll also be tuning into letterman tonight. Thanks for the heads up.

Stay Tuned for Conan after Letterman, North Mississippi Allstars are on!
Most a pitty,

I live in Kansas City. Transplated Chicagoan. Love son volt and wilco (the band that some son volt members formed after son volt). Excellent album. Since they are from near here, I have been fortunate to see them twice. Great band.

I saw them on letterman, they were pretty good, I had heard a few tunes before. I had some trouble making out the singers lyrics though.
Finally was able to find it. On the first listen I'm pretty impressed with it. I love Jay's voice and the amped up sound of the whole disc is great. I'm sure it'll be getting it's fair share through the rotation in the next little while.

So much great new music out there these days. The wallets been taking hits left and right.
I picked this up yesterday, I heard a few tunes in the states last week and liked them. It is a very good cd
