This is mine and BFs song....

I mention it to him about potentially playing during the ceremony of our (future) wedding. He listens to it, intently and then says "yes.... this one... OR.... let me play one for you!" Of course, I'm in the moment and thinking he's really thought of something great to play... it turns out to be ACDC "For those about to Rock... we salute you".

REALLY?! Boys.

Be thankful it's not NIN's Closer to God!

I think the Jayhawks are underestimated. I've never even bought any of their music, don't know their names or anything about them, but every time they come on RP, my ears perk right up.

I recommend Hollywood Town Hall, Tomorrow the Green Grass, Smile, Sound of Lies, and Rainy Day Music .

I already loved this song when I saw Gary Louris and Mark Olson in a small club in Sydney earlier this year. I was standing 4 feet from Louris at the merch table after the show when he spontaneously started singing it accapella as a request for a couple who were about to get married. It was one of the most magical music moments I've ever been lucky enough to witness.

Bravo! Jaded-ness can certainly be a problem on this message board

Y'all can slam Gary Louris all you want, and maybe "All The Right Reasons" is too sentimental by half, but, dadgummit, there's something right about that album.

The tricky bit about doing any "sentimental" art, is doing it right, without becoming overly mushy/tacky/cheesy/corny/tasteless, if you know what I mean.
I think we agree, the Jayhawks have done it quite well here..

(Oh, and thanks for adding "dadgummit" to my vocabulary {#Smile} )

Reminded me more of the New Riders of the Purple Sage, or Pure Prairie League. Liked it. Alot.

Now I don't know what the criteron/a is/are for a great album, but I've got a 13-year-old, for whom Bowling For Soup constitutes high art, who just downloaded all of Rainy Day Music on to her iPod. Granted, she knows all the lyrics, and we've been singing the damned album together since it came out, but still. Y'all can slam Gary Louris all you want, and maybe "All The Right Reasons" is too sentimental by half, but, dadgummit, there's something right about that album. Stepping down carefully from soap box. Sorry for the rant. Exiting sheepishly stage right...

Well put.
