Jodel


This screeching, eardrum busting wall of noise is often times thought of by fans and critics as a worthless track. But in my opinion, the caustic track is a beautiful interlude into one of the most peaceful sounds on album, the opening riff of the record's next song, Medicine Hat. The haunting echo of high pitched harmonica squeel that Son Volt likes to call Jodel is perfectly placed as the third track on Wide Swing Tremolo.
