It's much closer in line with Uncle Tupelo, although still its own sound. Very different from Wilco's sound. I like all three. Although I think it's a shame that Uncle Tupelo folded (long before I finally checked out their music), it's nice that from their dissolution came two vastly different bands that I both really like.
If you're curious about checking out Son Volt, I'd try listening to some of the first album, Trace, before any of the other few. The one song you might recognize is Drown, which got a decent amount of radio airplay when the album came out.
Amazon's got some sound clips here:

If you decide you want to pick one up, I'd get Trace before any of the others.
