Son Volt in STLToday.com
The new Son Volt record,
"Okemah and the Melody of Riot"
will be released on Tuesday, July 12th.
Here is a feature on that and the band
in STLToday.com:
Most of "Okemah and the Melody of Riot"
- including first single "Afterglow 61"
(to be performed on "The Late Show
With David Letterman" on Aug. 1),
"Jet Pilot" (about George W. Bush
and perhaps the CD's most scathing track)
and "Atmosphere" and "Ipecac"
(political songs that address modern-day
tragedies) - was written during
a six-to-eight-month period in 2004
that coincided with the
presidential campaign.
