In this collection of beautifully crafted autobiographical vignettes that encompasses everything from the people Jay Farrar has met and the places he’s journeyed over 20 years as a traveling musician, to his formative childhood experiences, to his parents’ cultural identity as Missouri Ozarks.
As a child, he marveled at the eccentric habits and mannerisms of his father, though it has taken over 40 years to fully appreciate his guidance. Recollections of Farrar’s father are prominent throughout the stories. Ultimately, it is music and musicians that are given the most space and the final word since music has been the creative impetus and driving force for the past 35 years of his life.
In writing these stories, he found a natural inclination to focus on very specific experiences; a method analogous to the songwriting process. The highlights and pivotal experiences from that musical journey are all represented as the binding thread in these stories—if life is a movie, then these stories are the still frames.

Just like Jay.
By Glen D. Middleton
If you've ever seen any of Jay's solo shows or Son Volt shows, you'll know Jay is a man of few words on stage. He tends to channel his energy into his music and not into onstage banter. "Falling Cars and Junkyard Dogs" is much like Jay's stage presence - There's a dearth of words here, but all of the chapters add up to a wonderful portrait of a man who typically reveals very little. This book is not unlike Sam Shepard's autobiographical sketches - Father/son relations, regional observations, life on the American road, the impact of music and musicians on a developing artist. For those looking to peel back the layers of Jay Farrar, there are no great revelations here. Farrar paints his portrait with subtle brush strokes. We don't get the inside story of the collapse of Uncle Tupelo (the chapter dealing with this is written in such a way that, unless you know your Uncle Tupelo history, you might think he was discussing just another band he happened, at one time, to have been a member of) and there are no insights into the first Son Volt lineup or the difficulties he faced in putting the same band together again after brief solo projects. You do get a sense that Jay is not a man given to spending much time dealing with life's crazy dramas.
I never miss seeing Jay solo or with Son Volt when he plays in Northern California. For me the book was a welcome peek inside the life of an artist I greatly admire. I found myself identifying with a lot of Jay's vignettes... having spent part of my youth in New Orleans and having been raised on the country and rock classics he writes about. I, like Jay, find it difficult to say anything worthwhile to artists I admire -- I had that very problem once when running into Jay outside a venue in Santa Cruz, California some years back. I also found it interesting that both of our fathers worked on dredges. I know that life very well. Unlike Jay, I sidetracked into my father's occupation where I lost my left arm and my ability to play my beautiful Les Paul Custom guitar for the rest of my life. So, in a sense, Jay represents that hope I had for myself -- With immeasurably more talent!
For a Jay Farrar and Son Volt fan, the book is interesting read, but like the best of Jay's work, you have to fill in the spaces between the lines. This is not Keith Richards' "Life". This book is more like a set of black and white picture postcards you find in a box in your attic - The postcards give you a sense of a person's life in a moment in time, but you never get the bigger picture. I would certainly recommend this book to Jay Farrar fans... to all others, well, it doesn't rise to the level of Shepards' "Hawk Moon" or "Day out of Days". Still, it is an interesting read from a quiet, introspective artist. I'm glad he did it.

The kind of memoir you suspected he'd write
By M. Pethke
If you've read his interviews, listened to his songs, or observed him on stage over the years, the style Jay Farrar chose for his "memoir" will hardly surprise. This is a series of biographical essays, none of them longer than a three minute song, that describe in impressionistic fashion the people, places, and events that have influenced him over the years. Taken together, they give some keen insights into this famously shy and zealously private person. Those looking for a tell-all should look elsewhere; that's not his style, and his various conflicts with his record companies, Jeff Tweedy (never referenced by name, he's the "first touring band" bassist) and his Son Volt bandmates are referred to obliquely if at all. A must read for Jay's fans, but this is not Keith Richards's "Life" or even Bob Dylan's "Chronicles, Vol. I," and those not already familiar with the general outlines of Farrar's biography will likely be lost.
And he should probably watch "Braveheart" again; I don't think he quite got it the first time!

great
By tootie66
I thought this was a generous insight to the personality of Jay Farrar. We know he is a good guy. There was no big revelation but touching. It was inspirational for me. The thoughts are still resonating with me; like a good movie a few days later.
