When you live in a great city like Austin, there are no mediocre weekends. But, some are absolutely spectacular. This particular weekend started on Thursday with a show I had been looking forward to for a while, Son Volt at Antone’s. This one was a real crowd pleaser, with a great set list of songs covering Jay Farrar’s career since the break with Uncle Tupelo. New songs from The Search, older songs from Trace. They played everything I wanted to hear (except for Caryatid Easy, can’t have everything). Son Volt now features–not one, but two–great Austin musicians, Andrew Duplantis on bass, and Chris Masterson on lead guitar. Enjoy some photos and video from the evening:
