SON VOLT RETURNS WITH 'AMERICAN CENTRAL DUST,' ON ROUNDER RECORDS Son Volt returns with ‘American Central Dust,' a plaintive 12-song collection that recalls the melodic succinctness of the band's debut album ‘Trace.' After the musical experimentation of 2007's ‘The Search, ' ‘American Central Dust,' the band's first album on Rounder, refines the band's robust sound. Fiddle, pedal steel, lap steel and sparkling piano add an atmospheric nuance to Son Volt's Americana inspired rock, surrounding band leader Jay Farrar's stream of consciousness lyrical imagery. Album highlights include; the rootsy shuffle of album opener “Dynamite,” on which Farrar declares “this love is like celebrating the 4th of July with dynamite,” the tremolo soaked rocker “Down To The Wire,' the gorgeous, piano led “Cocaine And Ashes,” an empathetic tribute to Keith Richards, references a man who's “the same as everyone, just kind of lucky,” and ‘Sweetheart of the Rodeo'-esque rocker “No Turning Back.” When asked about signing to the new label, Farrar said "Rounder has shown a long term commitment to music forms, like folk and blues, that I have a lot of respect for. Going with Rounder has been a kind of a full circle continuum -- the first Rounder person I met with was instrumental in booking Uncle Tupelo gigs years ago" ‘American Central Dust' features Jay Farrar (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Dave Bryson (drums), Andrew Duplantis (bass guitar, backing vocals), Chris Masterson (lead guitar), Mark Spencer (keyboards, steel guitar). Son Volt's national tour begins in July. ‘American Central Dust' tracklist: 1. Dynamite 2. Down To The Wire 3. Roll On 4. Cocaine And Ashes 5. Dust Of Daylight 6. When The Wheels Don't Move 7. No Turning Back 8. Pushed Too Far 9. Exiles 10. Sultana 11. Strength And Doubt 12.
