Kanada Kev Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 http://bit.ly/e20Tid The Jayhawks – Tomorrow The Green Grass The Jayhawks’ final record with singer/songwriter Mark Olson, Tomorrow the Green Grass is also the group’s finest. While the band’s earlier efforts perfected a more traditional brand of country-rock, their fourth record is marvelously eclectic, both musically and emotionally; never before had they rocked as hard as on “Real Light,†dug as painfully deep as on “Two Hearts,†or hit quite the same peaks of exuberance as on “Miss Williams’ Guitar,†a tribute to Olson’s new wife, neo-folkie Victoria Williams. The addition of keyboardist Karen Grotberg brings rich new layers to the Jayhawks’ sound, as does the inclusion of a string section on cuts like “Blue†and “I’d Run Away,†a soaring pop song that’s quite possibly the best thing the group ever recorded. A fitting legacy, indeed. - Jason Ankeny MP3@320CBR Track List 1. “Blue†– 3:09 2. “I’d Run Away†– 3:34 3. “Miss Williams’ Guitar†– 3:06 4. “Two Hearts†– 3:22 5. “Real Light†– 3:25 6. “Over My Shoulder†– 3:41 7. “Bad Time†– 3:27 (Mark Farner) 8. “See Him on the Street†– 3:09 9. “Nothing Left to Borrow†– 3:24 10. “Ann Jane†– 4:00 11. “Pray for Me†– 3:39 12. “Red’s Song†– 3:58 (Mark Olson/Gary Louris/Marc Perlman) 13. “Ten Little Kids†– 4:33 (Olson/Louris/Perlman) http://bit.ly/e20Tid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 http://bit.ly/geNpvj The Jayhawks – Hollywood Town Hall Call it what you will, “Americana,†“roots-rock†or “alt-country,†in the case of the Jayhawks’ major-label debut, it’s simply great music. On these 10 tracks, Minnesotan singer/songwriters Gary Louris and Mark Olson mesh elements of rock, folk, and country into songs that sound both traditional and original at once. While their vocal harmonies follow the lineage of the Byrds and the Burrito Brothers, Olson and Louris are yin and yang on guitars, with Olson’s steady acoustic strumming anchoring Louris’ dynamic, fuzzed-out electric playing. Bassist Marc Perlman and drummer Ken Callahan provide a solid rhythm foundation, with star session players Benmont Tench (Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello) and Nicky Hopkins (the Beatles, the Rolling Stones) lending additional embellishment on piano, organ, and keyboards. “Waiting For the Sun†and “Settled Down Like Rain†are instant classics, songs of ragged beauty that sound familiar after one listen. Others like “Crowded in the Wings†and “Two Angels†(much improved over the BLUE EARTH version) are folky narratives that highlight Louris and Olson’s penchant for romantic rural storytelling. With its catchy melodies and rustic charm, HOLLYWOOD TOWN HALL is truly a landmark album in American music. - www.cduniverse.com MP3@320CBR Track List 1. “Waiting for the Sun†– 4:19 2. “Crowded in the Wings†– 4:55 3. “Clouds†– 4:51 4. “Two Angels†– 4:04 5. “Take Me with You (When You Go)†– 4:50 6. “Sister Cry†– 4:08 7. “Settled Down Like Rain†– 3:00 8. “Wichita†– 5:26 9. “Nevada, California†– 4:05 10. “Martin’s Song†– 2:58 http://bit.ly/geNpvj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has it, you know? I’m jealous - I wish I had written these songs.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
