Review: Son Volt - Trace

Son Volt - Trace: Let's play family tree.

Original Band: Uncle Tupelo (Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy)
Splinter Band 1: Wilco (Jeff Tweedy)
Splinter Band 2: Son Volt (Jay Farrar).

So, as one would expect, Son Volt is the more traditional alt-country band whereas Tweedy went on to form the more experimental Wilco. Think of it like At The Drive-In, The Mars Volta and Sparta, respectively. Only difference is, Son Volt is equally as good as its experimental brethren.
