Son Volt’s John Horton on St. Louis’s lack of music reputation
John Horton (Son Volt & The Bottle Rockets) offered up an explanation of why his home city of St. Louis doesn’t have the reputation of a “sound” despite being the Fertile Crescent of the Alt Country movement of the 1990s. Hear more of that and much more about Horton’s role in the genre, those bands and what Jay Farrar is really like on the new episode of Roots Music Rambler.
