The Jayhawks are IMHO the most under-appreciated band around. They've created a true evolving body of work with many great albums over a long period of time.
Check out Hollywood Town Hall as a start.

And yes, Lost Highway has plenty of great bands on board. Cheers,

Patrick_odonnell... Believe it or not, I already have the Gary Louris CD Vagabonds, and I agree with you, that's one mighty fine CD. That guy has more talent in his little finger than half the artists in my entire CD collection. Every song on that CD IMHO is great.

Sbank... Like I said above, after hearing just 10 seconds of the Jayhawks' song "Will I See You In Heaven" on the October Road TV show, I found the Lost Highway website, where I set out on my mission to own that CD. Since the Rainy Day Music CD is out of print, and can't even be downloaded by the legal service providers, I was lucky enought to find a factory sealed CD on Ebay for $40.00. I bet the seller thought I was a sucker for paying that much, but for music like that, I would have paid even more.

Raks, I have Rainy Day Music on vinyl. It's good, but not even close to Hollywood Town Hall or Tomorrow The Green Grass. Cheers,

Glad to see some other Jayhawks fans here. I do beg to differ on one point. I think Rainy Day Music is as good as Hollywood Town Hall, and actually better than Tomorrow The Green Grass. Also, don't overlook their first record, Blue Earth, where their Gram Parsons' influence is more evident. A wonderful record.

Here's hoping they reunite soon!

Well, Gary Louris and Mark Olsen have an album slated to come out sometime later this year (it's apparently been done for awhile but was held back so it wouldn't conflict with Louris' solo album), hopefully we'll at least get another Mark & Gary tour to go along with it. There's an interview with Louris on AVclub.com where he also mentions wanting to re-release the first Jayhawks recordings (which have never been on CD) along with rarities and unreleased stuff. Should be a good year for Jayhawks fans!
