- On his second solo album, former Uncle Tupelo member and Son Volt frontman Jay Farrar continues to paint outside the worn areas of his musical canvas. The most prominent examples of Farrar's ongoing sonic experimentation are the six interspersed "Space Junk" instrumentals, which feature brief backward tape loops. However, Farrar still leaves plenty of room to hone his signature dirt-road sound, leaning further towards minimalism and atmospherics on this set of songs.
- "No Turning Back" begins with Farrar's immediately recognizable acoustic strumming and plaintive vocals, which are joined by off-in-the-distance pedal steel guitar and clanging, muffled drums. "Hard Is the Fall" hearkens back to the late Tupelo/early Son Volt era, while "Fool King's Crown" is a distorted, bluesy shuffle. Though many of these tunes have a quirky, ramshackle quality about them, Farrar offers more straightforward alternate versions of four songs, fully showcasing his range as an accomplished and creative singer/songwriter.
Professional Reviews Uncut (8/03, p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...His most towering achievement to date....Lyrical gravitas is married to wonderful melodies, and Farrar's voice and guitar are fleshed out with pedal-steel, slide guitar, electric sitar and strings...",
Mojo (Publisher) (7/03, p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Happily, TERROIR BLUES reconfirms Farrar's status as a compelling chronicler of road-weary roots..."
