New Jayhawks!!

A new one from The Jayhawks!! Paging Mr. Proust. A little word association .... You say "Americana" or "Alternative-Country" and The Jayhawks are the first band that I think of. Another collection of great songs!! Guitars and vocal harmonies and the involvement of former R.E.M. members!

I'm not sure of my initial introduction to their music. Probably through my love of Son Volt's sound and the search for related music.

Always an emphasis on songwriting so there's never a danger of filler material.

On my short list for the best new releases of 2016.
