Jay Farrar Releasing Traditional Song LP & Son Volt DVD

As Son Volt begins early work on its fifth album, group leader Jay Farrar is planning to release a collection of mostly traditional songs he cut with former Varnaline singer Anders Parker in the fall, titled “Gab Iron.”

Featuring at least one Stanley Brothers songs, as well as “Hills of Mexico,” a traditional often associated with Woody Guthrie, “Gab Iron” (British slang for harmonica) coalesced just prior to the recording of Son Volt’s 2005 album “Okemah and the Melody of Riot.”
