Shelby Lynne

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!

Patrick, thanks for the heads-up....Mark Olsen, Salvation Blues, from 2007 was a nice release too (IMO)

Yes, Gary & Mark's tour a couple of years ago was one of the best shows I can remember. Saw them after a snowstorm at World Cafe Live in Philly. They were most appreciative of fans' efforts to get to the show and rewarded us with great enthusiasm and multiple encores. Cheers,

As previously reported, the original pressing had a good bit of noise. Lost Highway repressed and they sent me a replacement copy at no charge. Great company.

I saw/heard Shelby two weeks ago at a small venue in New York, she did nearly the entire recording, and it was just magical. I bought the LP there and in my view it is not any better than the CD, at least on my system, in my room. But they are both stellar, from a performance and recording perspective. Truly a rare occurrence in a recording, such a talent.
