Gob Iron (British slang for a harmonica) is a brand new side project for Son Volt and Uncle Tupelo founder Jay Farrar. Teaming up with his friend (and Varnaline front man) Anders Parker, Farrar has recorded an album of new takes on American folk standards. Also known as the “folk process,” these are old songs by the likes of Stephen Foster and The Reverend JM Gates which have been given new lyrics or new arrangements in an effort to re-interpret the songs in a fresh way. Recorded over the course of just two days, Death Songs For The Living represents two craftsmen stepping out and taking a chance on some of the music that they hold most dear. Also included is the brand new Farrar original “Buzz & Grind.”

I know Caputo really likes it. its jay farrar so of course i like it. I haven't listened to it enough to decide how much. I'd be very surprised though if I end up like it as much as his last solo album.

I'm seeing them tomorrow night and that last album really clicked for me after seeing the songs live so maybe that will happen with this one too.
