Gab or Gob?

Diatriber alerts us of goings-on with Jay Farrar, and while the official Son Volt email tells us the Farrar/Parker side project is called "Gob Iron", Billboard Online seems to think its "Gab Iron".

Featuring at least one Stanley Brothers songs, as well as "Hills of Mexico," a traditional often associated with Woody Guthrie, "Gab Iron" (British slang for harmonica) coalesced just prior to the recording of Son Volt's 2005 album "Okemah and the Melody of Riot."

Billboard also notes that 2 new songs that may appear on the next Son Volt album are called "Methamphetamine" and "Dogs of Triumph".
