Watch Son Volt perform songs from their new album 'Union' -- alongside old favorites -- live from First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minn.

On Son Volt's new record, Union, present and past mingle into strong confluence. The thirteen new songs written by founder Jay Farrar confront our turbulent politics and articulate the clarity and comfort music can offer in the tumult. "There are so many forces driving our country apart," observes Farrar. "What can we do to bring our society back together?"

Watch as Farrar and company blend songs from the new album with fan favorites from the past 25 years.
