SON VOLT NEW UPDATE
- Hear it live archived online at npr.org
- Sample three tracks from The Search - in stores March 6
New lead guitarist Chris Masterson debuts on 3/1 for Conan O'Brien
Chris Masterson, former guitar player for Jack Ingram, will replace Brad Rice in the Son Volt line-up.
Brad has been tapped to join Keith Urban on the road and will of course be missed. Chris joins Son Volt on March 1 for Late Night with Conan O’Brien and will also be on all future dates. As you see in this picture, Brad (left) and Chris (right) are old pals so the transition should be seamless. They even have matching Dusenberger DRW Ronnie Wood guitars! As he did on Son Volt's 2005 European Tour, James Welbourne (Pernice Brothers) will handle lead guitar for the WXPN gig and other events before Chris joins on 3/1.January 26, 2007

Official press release on new Son Volt CD
Son Volt - The Search - In Stores March 6
Album Marks Farrar's and Son Volt's Most Diverse Record Yet
'The Search,' the intriguing new album from Son Volt, is set for release on March 6 on Transmit Sound/Legacy, and it's by far the band's most daring and diverse album yet. The follow-up to 2005's acclaimed 'Okemah and the Melody of Riot,' 'The Search' is a startlingly powerful and inspiring departure from the band's alt-country laden records, employing an exceptional variety of sounds, melodies, and arrangements.
"Instrumentally, the electric guitar was the focus of the last record 'Okemah', but for 'The Search' we wanted to try something new, " says songwriter Jay Farrar. "This time, we utilized different instrumentation to fit each song -- from guitar pedal loops to various keyboard sounds to horns."
The piano of 'Okemah's' gorgeous closing ballad "World Waits For You" returns here to open 'The Search' with the beautifully haunting processional "Slow Hearse." Laced with Eastern-style electric guitar and Farrar's signature vocals, the tune fades out to silence only to dive into 'The Picture,' a track that features an upbeat Memphis-style horn section combined with stirring lyrics that reflect on the current and future state of things, "when war is profit and profit is war."
There's the buzzing, Zeppelin-esque guitar of "Action"; the hypnotic, other-worldly riff of "Circadian Rhythm"; the vocal harmonizing of chanteuse Shannon McNally on "Highways and Cigarettes"; and the Big Brother commentary of title track "The Search," a solid rock song delivered as only Son Volt can.
'The Search' features Jay Farrar (vocal, guitar, piano), Dave Bryson (drums), Derry DeBorja (keyboards), Andrew Duplantis (bass, backing vocals) and Brad Rice (guitar).
Jay Farrar, who is currently wrapping up a run of dates with Anders Parker as part of their side-band Gob Iron in support of the duo's debut 'Death Songs For The Living,' will hit the road with Son Volt for a national tour in March.

BUDDY GUY SPECIAL
BUDDY GUY: CAN’T QUIT THE BLUES
Brand new one-hour music intensive radio special available for broadcast on all US-based stations!
- Preview or download this program from the Public Radio Exchange.
One-hour music intensive radio special features legendary bluesman Buddy Guy in his own words and music. Buddy Guy’s own comments come from an exclusive interview session, and include many recollections and insights that will heard on your station for the first time. Hosted by journalist Anthony DeCurtis, this program also features 15 classic tracks from throughout Guy’s career.
Buddy Guy tells his own story, looking back on his life and career as only he can. He begins the story with his poor, sharecropping roots in Lettsworth, LA, and guides up through all his stops along the way to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame – the first time he met the blues on a John Lee Hooker record, the birth of his trademark guitar style while regularly jamming for customers at a gas station, his explosion on the Chicago blues scene, his influence on many of rock’s great guitarists (Clapton, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Rolling Stones, John Mayer and many more), and much more.
Throughout “Can’t Quit the Blues,” Buddy Guy opens up and reveals himself as a man with a soul as great as his musical skills. He is extremely grateful to all those who helped him along the way, and always happy to share his knowledge with those inspired by him. At 70 years-old, he continues to live a great life, always thankful of how he came to be one of the world’s great blues guitarists.
“If I had my life to live over,” he says, “I would come back the same road that I came and pick up the acoustic guitar and hope to make somebody happy and smile.”
