Son Volt’s Okemah and the Melody of Riot finds Jay Farrar channeling the spirit of protest music, with “the words of Woody Guthrie ringing in my head” setting the tone for an album that resonates with both urgency and reflection. With robust rock arrangements and thoughtful lyricism, this record reaffirms the band’s place as torchbearers of American roots-inspired sound in the 21st century.
This 2018 reissue, mastered for vinyl by Brad Sarno, highlights the dynamism and texture of the original recordings, captured in St. Louis and mixed in Brooklyn. A Record Store Day exclusive, it’s a compelling listen for fans of meaningful songwriting and Son Volt’s evocative, guitar-driven rock.
