I liked it. I honestly don't remember this group but I'm glad Bill played it.

If there were any justice in American music culture, these guys would have been the biggest band of their time.

The snow in Stephen's cover looks like fresh, fluffy stuff-so it's probably about 30 degrees while, Jayhawks look like January in Minnesota or the Dakotas-so it's more like Zero degree!

I was excited to read in Rolling Stone that a new Jayhawks album is in the works.

My initial gag reflex suggested that this was Spoon, and I'm delighted that it's not. Now I've gotta listen to it some more (this, not Spoon), because I do like other Jayhawks tracks. Indeed, no one in Spoon can touch that guitar solo I'm listening to now.

But you gotta give it to Tomorrow the Green Grass, dontcha? I do. I love other of their albums since, but once Olsen left, they were never quite the same. Such unique harmonies!! Bill, play Settled Down Like Rain, the best on HTH (to me)
Agree. I should recomend "Tampa to Tulsa", from Rainy Day Music. Great road song. For me, one of their bests. |

To paraphrase the great Terry Malloy, "they coulda been contenders". 9 or 10, easy.

... There are better songs than Wichita on this album, but this is their best album in my opinion (though I haven't heard much of Rainy Day Music). It's more relaxed, tighter, and the lead singer is more tighly integrated with the rest of band, which is perfectly honed. Yeah the lyrics a bit more cryptic than what I hear on their other albums, but they're also less desperate, less forced. Anyway that's my .02. If I were to recommend a Jayhawks album to anybody it would be this one.

I love this album best also. Benmont Tench's (of TP & Heartbreakers) Hammond/keyboards made the Jayhawks completely complete. |

Gary is seriously overlooked as being an excellent lead guitarist. Whether he is adding little fills or simply rocking out, he's great in my book!

This strikes me as a middle-of-the-road toon (5). Maybe repeated listening will move it - one way or the other.
