Electro Melodier is Son Volt’s 10th studio album – and third for influential Nashville indie Thirty Tigers. The title, taken from the names of two vintage amplifiers from the late ’40s and early ’50s, also describes the disc’s unique blend of folk, country, blues, soul and rock — an electric troubadour with melodies that hit and stick. Once again accompanied by the current Son Volt lineup — keyboardist/steel guitarist Mark Spencer, bassist Andrew Duplantis, guitarist Chris Frame, and drummer Mark Patterson — Farrar takes a slight turn from 2019’s politically pointed Union to a series of songs that asks questions rather than demanding answers. The songs of Electro Melodier help remind us to be thankful of what we still have — new music from Jay Farrar and Son Volt.
