On October 20th, however, the unlikely duo will be releasing One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur. The album features new music by the pair, with lyrics based on the prose from the Jack

As we’ve previously reported, the Son Volt front man teamed up with DC4C’s Ben Gibbard to record an album based on a Jack Kerouac novel.

If I had to guess, I'd assume that Ben Gibbard's favorite Jack Kerouac book is the classic On The Road... but I'd be wrong! It seems that Gibbard has a soft spot for Kerouac's 1962 novel, The Big Sur, as does Son Volt's Jay Farrar. To celebrate their love for the book (and Kerouac's legacy), the two recently collaborated on the upcoming Kerouac documentary, One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's ...

The material, crafted together using words from Jack Kerouac’s Big Sur novel, invokes the same optimism, longing, and playfully deep introspection that has made millions of readers identify with Kerouac’s work.Last monday, Gibard and Farrar brou

When I first put up my MOG page, under "Artists You Should Know About," I put Jay Farrar....Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, and onward.. But I didn't post any of his stuff, and when I checked just now, neither has anyone else (except dandy lion...one song from Sebastapol).
