John Horton from Son Volt and The Bottle Rockets recently appeared on Roots Music Rambler to talk about the genesis of the Alt Country world and his role on two of its seminal bands. In this segment, he walks down memory lane and talks the music scene in St. Louis that produced bands like Uncle Tupleo, Wilco, Son Volt and The Bottle Rockets.
The episode also features Francesca Folinazzo’s recap of her recent Mecca-like journey to Belleville, Illinois, the home of the birth of Uncle Tupelo. And she and Jason Falls will share their regular Pickin’ the Grinnin’ recommendations for new music.
It’s an Alt Country-centric episode! Dial it up, gang!
