    This album is a welcome return to form even with the overt blues condescension. The first two songs are classic Son Volt and easily the best. Jay Farrar can sing and play the blues though.

    Anguish is only half the tone, and its match is found--there is snarl and there is bite in Notes of Blue.

    The mix of blues, with their standard, folk and country is a nice addition, but may not be enough to win over folks who aren’t already Son Volt devotees.
