Song Review: Son Volt - “Back Against the Wall”

If Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen ever decide to record together, they might come up with something similar to Son Volt’s “Back Against the Wall.”

With stabbing, atonal electric lead guitar obviously inspired by “Powderfinger” and big-picture lyrics about the human condition that wouldn’t sound out of place on Nebraska, the lead single from the band’s upcoming eighth album, Notes of Blue, wears its inspirations loudly and proudly.

No time to be wayward/no time to be unwound/with darkness at your doorstep, keep your feet on the ground/there will be times of injustice/times when there’s more lost than found/down times mixed with days of wonder/a real-life, spinning merry-go-round, Jay Farrar sings in his best Springsteen, before a faux Young appears on the solo that follows.

Like most things under the sun, and with its melody lifted from Todd Snider’s “A Lot More,” “Back Against the Wall” has nothing new to offer and listeners come away feeling like they’ve heard this song before in different times and places. But there are only so many chords and so many melodies to work with and Son Volt get credit for recycling wisely.

Notes of Blue, the band’s first album in three years, is due Feb. 17.
