As a general rule, in latter-day Jayhawks lineage Mark Olson has been the one playing stripped down, loose-limbed shows, while Gary Louris has hewed closer to pop hooks and full-band polish. And they’ve each done it without the other. But recently, they’ve dipped their toes into writing and playing together, and their new part-acoustic, part-ragged folk-rock duo album, Ready for the Flood, will soon be out overseas. Which means European audiences are getting a tour promoting the new album, while we have slim pickings on this side of the pond. (That will be remedied in January 2009 when the album releases stateside. In the meantime, read Paste's review of Ready for the Flood.)
