After alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo broke up in 1994, founding singer-songwriters Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar formed different bands: Tweedy formed Wilco and Farrar formed Son Volt. Their debut album Trace was critically acclaimed and assured Uncle Tupelo fans that the magic had carried over to Son Volt. Subsequent albums, such as Straightaways (1997) and Wide Swing Tremolo (1998) were not quite so loved as Trace, but were highly regarded nonetheless. While Son Volt have not been as successful as Wilco, they are still considered an essential band for fans of alt-country.
