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.
It’s live now at rootsmuiscrambler.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
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!
