To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Trace, the landmark debut album by Son Volt, this special Record Store Day Black Friday 2025 edition presents the definitive vinyl reissue of a modern Americana classic. Originally released in 1995, Trace is widely regarded as one of the defining works of the alt-country movement, marking Jay Farrar’s evolution after Uncle Tupelo and solidifying his status as a master songwriter.

Pressed on stunning Purple Vinyl, this 2LP anniversary edition includes a newly remastered version of the original album along with a bonus LP of rare live recordings and alternate cuts making their first appearance on vinyl. The collection highlights Son Volt’s evocative blend of longing, grit and understated power.

Featuring essential tracks like Windfall, Drown and Tear Stained Eye, Trace remains an enduring touchstone for fans of Americana, country-folk and alternative roots music. This is a one-time RSD pressing and an essential collector’s item for anyone who cherishes the history and evolution of alt-country.
