roadhse ma Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 After occasionally looking at this thread over the years, and hearing them now and again on the last independent radio station in Greater Boston. .. I have taken the plunge and bought a ticket for Somerville Theater (night before Wilco on NY) But great concert music always seems to come in waves so yep I will be hitting both.Carry on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost of Electricity Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 my love for the band has waned due to all the inner band drama. but the music is still great. The univoice has been torn asunder once more, and so we will not hear the Jayhawks at their best (ever?) again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cold as Gasoline Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Cool Pic !I was intrigued by the "Wilco Towers "Not to by hijack thread but this also relates to subject in above Jayhawks tweethttp://www.avclub.com/video/chicago-the-wilco-towers-57336 Really enjoyed that look at how this became the YHF album cover! It's an iconic image to a lot of us, and probably because of the geometric, graphical nature of the image they describe in the video. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I like that The Jayhawks are playing a few Golden Smog songs in their sets. With Kraig Johnson back in the band, those songs fit well in their show. Looks like they have been playing "Looking Forward to Seeing You", "Jennifer Save Me" and "Until You Came Along" most recently. I am a fan of all of their lineups/sounds/eras. There is something about their sound when Kraig was with them in the late 90s that I liked - they got a harder edge with the extra electric guitar that I found appealing.

Smokestack Joe Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Seeing Golden Smog shows are still some of my very favorites show to this day. damn good times! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty Shackleford Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Sounds like there's a new Jayhawks record coming, with the Sound Of Lies-era lineup.

That record and Hollywood Town Hall are so damn good! Too good. I hope the new album is more in the vein of Rainy Day Music. I'm not sure what happened with that last record. Seemed to have so much potential, but it basically broke the band up again. Olson says he wants nothing to do with Louris. Olson has a new record out. Some good songs, but the production is a little weird with his girlfriend's vocals all reverbed out. I still love some of Olson's Creekdipper stuff. Oh, and I hope Tim gets a few tunes on the new album. Love his voice and songs. His solo album is excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Olson says he wants nothing to do with Louris. Yeah, I remember hearing that too. I wonder what the story is there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yeah, I remember hearing that too. I wonder what the story is there.Olson says Louris hit on his girlfriend/future wife. Apparently, it's an alt country tradition for the less talented member of a duo to make wild accusations and nurse grudges like John Boehner nurses a Scotch bottle.

Analogman Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 I saw their set at Lockn' (by way of Youtube). I didn't think it was that great. I don't know who those two guitar players were - but do they need 3 people playing guitar? I guess we will see how it goes when the new album comes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

last cigarettes Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 never got to see the jayhawks proper, but have loved their music since hollywood town hall (esp. that album and tonorrow the green grass). did get to see gary and mark play together as a duo on their tour for ready for the flood in 2009. excellent show and album. too bad their personal differences seem to preclude any near-future collaborations- maybe time can heal some wounds...

LouieB Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Keeping the Jayhawks name for whatever group wants it has always seemed strange to me, but the Gary alone group is very very good. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB It's still three original members (Gary, Karen, and Marc) plus Tim has been there since 1997. I see you point though. To me it is best with Mark and Gary. Although I do like that album Rainy Day Music. I am not sure if I will buy the new one or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
