Son Voltis a popular music group formed by Jay Farrarin New Orleans, Louisiana in 1994, after the breakup of the band Uncle Tupelo, owing to the simmering creative differences between songwriters Farrar and Jeff Tweedy. The group moved their headquarters to St. Louis, Missouri shortly thereafter. Son Volt is often considered the closest continuance of Uncle Tupelo's alt-country/ americanasound and musical legacy. Jeff Tweedywould steer his post-Uncle Tupelo group Wilcotowards more adventurous sonic territory - and greater critical and commercial success - in a move that has sharply divided fans.
