Son Volt's upcoming album, Honky Tonk, will be released on Rounder Records on March 5. It'll feature fresh sounds from the band, as frontman Jay Farrar learned how to play pedal steel guitar as inspiration for the new tunes. The album may also veer on the mushy side: According to Farrar, "I was always averse to using certain words in songs, including 'love' and 'heart,' but I started using them on American Central Dust, and now I guess the floodgates have opened." Ohhh, brother. According to a press release, the album will be a mixture of classic honky tonk and acoustic-based songs. Since the band's formation in 1994, they've released a slew of albums and endured several lineup changes. Their most recent recording, 2009's American Central Dust, received four out of five stars from AllMusic.
