You mean like...Riders on the Storm????

(ohhh, I need to stop being so snide...) And in which state or country is it raining since RP is an international station?

The refrain looks same as Rainy Day from The Corrs.

awww —- This song song makes me sad and happy at the same time. I remember REALLY getting into Jayhawks songs back in 2002 back during the tech bust when I was searching for work and a "Reason to Be". This song is so nostalgic to me, then and now.

As yet another opinion, I found this album—while quite enjoyable—to have kind of a sameness. Whereas Hollywood Town Hall is my favorite Jayhawks album, with more variety of sound.

But as to the original question, yes, picking up a full Jayhawks album is well worth it. 
 

Tommorow the Green Grass and Blue Earth are awesome. I was not as impressed with Hollywood Town Hall. In fact on Blue Earth - they did an alternate (first version) of the song Two Angels.

2003 is correct. It was released on American/Lost Highway. American re-released it in 2006. Dunno about the "version" tho'. Only one that I know of.

Other than that, I think this is fairly ho-hum. They are pretty proficient, however and this track is good listening for driving and elevating.

I discovered this band on RP and liked their music a lot. Last year I bought "Tomorrow the Green Grass." It's a very nice album that I can recommend. Worth the money.

Yes, twice, they put on a great show. It was particularly good to see Gary Louris and Mark Olson back together.
