Back in the 1990s, the Jayhawks were supposed to be huge. They’d plugged away for several years before releasing their breakthrough, Hollywood Town Hall, in 1992, earning the label alt-country more by coincidence than by actual sound. That album and its follow-up, 1995’s Tomorrow the Green Grass, honed the rustic harmonies and observational songwriting of Gary Louris and Mark Olson, who sang beautifully together about real people traipsing through the snowy Midwest. Although critically praised, the band never quite graduated from a cult to a mainstream act, which resulted in Olson leaving the band and Louris soldiering on and writing some embittered songs. read more

The path leading from Mark Olson’s departure to psychedelic pop and increasingly ambitious songcraft has proven longer than some expected. But with Rainy Day Music the Jayhawks have finally come full circle. Whether a reward to patient fans, or simply a return to the band’s roots, Gary Louris and company wander back into familiar territory with their most conventional set of songs since Tomorrow the Green Grass. Back are the rich harmonies and alternately twanging and chiming guitars that formed their once-definitive sound. New entries like “Stumbling Through the Dark” and “Save It for a Rainy Day” rank among the... read more
