Jay Farrar resurrected Son Volt in 2005 after his solo career seemingly ran out of gas, and the two albums that followed--OKEMAH AND THE MELODY OF RIOT and THE SEARCH--were the best and most compelling music he`d made since Son Volt`s masterful debut. AMERICAN CENTRAL DUST (2009), the third set from Son Volt 2.0, was released by the venerable independent roots music label Rounder Records. And while there`s little telling if that decision was dictated by finance or aesthetics, the album sounds austere in a way its immediate predecessors did not. While their previous two outings found Farrar and his new bandmates edging into new musical territory while embracing a bigger studio sound, by comparison, AMERICAN CENTRAL DUST feels more organic and intimate. Farrar still sounds thoroughly engaged as both a songwriter and performer, and his band--Chris Masterson on guitars, Mark Spencer on keyboards and steel guitars, Andrew DuPlantis on bass, and Dave Bryson on drums--is tight and sympathetic, finding just the right angle to approach this material. While the album doesn`t have the feel of a step into new territory the way Son Volt`s past two albums did, it does consolidate the group`s old strengths and confirms Jay Farrar is still an artist worth caring about 20 years after Uncle Tupelo cut their first album.
