Music Friday: "Driving the View"

I make this post out of some trepidation. Son Volt has been one of my favorite bands for years. 

Farrar and his cast of characters came out with a new album this year called Union. It's good, and I need to dig into the lyrics a bit more to fully appreciate it. 

But my complaint about Son Volt's newer works is that they've been almost too alt-country, with emphasis on the latter term. For me, Son Volt is best when the band is playing a more uptempo rock-based song, and the recent release provides more mid tempo to slower tunes with more twang. 

The kind of uptempo, rock-based songs are like the one I'm featuring today.
