Not heard the new album yet but saw them a few weeks ago in London. I love Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow The Green Grass albums.
BTW - have you heard Jonathan Wilson's incredible Gentle Spirit album? Elements of CSNY, Neil Young and Elliot Smith solo but with a real psychedelic edge.

Thanks.

Now that I've had it for a couple weeks I'd have to say I agree StonesTod. Maybe it'll grow on me and it's still really good by most other bands' standards but the songwriting, to me, isn't up there with their best.

had a couple of listens to the new one - sounds ok, but the songwriting doesn't hold up to that on those first two major releases....

Just got back from seeing The Jayhawks. First time seeing the band and it was great. Kinda cool to see the LA crowd give the band a lot of love considering this isn't their hugest market. We were all grooving and enjoying the great show.
And in following a mini-tradition I've started on this board....here's some pics of the show and some extra goodies...

It WILL grow on you.
Funny, I had exactly the same thoughts of Hollywood Town Hall, and needed 7 or 8 spins before I got hooked...

it would have been hard to recreate that magic anyway...wasn't really expecting it. those first two major-label releases set the bar very high, imo....

That's great, Justin. Lucky you! I'm gonna catch their show here in Norway in February for sure.

Thanks Dandelion! It was a fun night and the whole band was really great to get along with. These guys came at a point in my life when I was just learning how to write songs. Their influence on my writing and playing was a big deal for me.
