Previously an iTunes exclusive, the new LP, Chant and Strum, boasts all twenty-two recordings from The Search's studio sessions. Only 1000 copies were pressed for this extremely limited edition.

2007 has been an incredible and explosive year for Son Volt. Most recently, they were nominated for the Americana Music Associations' prestigious honor of "Best Duo Group" of the year. Following the release of The Search, Jay Farrar and the band have performed on the Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, toured North America extensively, and received accolades from the New York Times, Newsweek and the Associated Press amongst others.
