 The ultimate "who is this?" discAug 06, 2010
When I play this at dinner parties/poker tourneys/let's get together and hang out, etc., at least one person (and usually 2 or 3) asks me, "Who is this? I really like them!"
A down-to-earth great!!!! rock CD - a top fiver for meOct 02, 2009
The Jayhawks are pioneers of the Alt Country thing (I hate this genre name, but the cat is out of the bag). Ever since first hearing this album over 15 years ago, I viewed it as a nearly perfect. The recording is spot-on for the material - unpretentious, jangly, fuzzed guitars, a real piano - a perfect backdrop to well-written, tightly structured rock songs, with harmonies from Gary Louris and Mark Olson - they were meant to sing together. The Jayhawks pull their songs back to their roots, with hints of old electric Neil Young are in here (ala Zuma). Back-to-basics rock songs - a stellar album that has stood the test of time. Own it! GENRES: Rock, Mellow Rock, Alt Country.
BUY IF YOU LIKE: James McMurtry, Whiskeytown.
MUST HEAR TRACKS: "Two Angels," "Waiting for the Sun," "Wichita," "Martin's Song."

This is the Traveling Wilburys country cousins. I can pay no higher compliment to this very Terrific album from start to closer. The Voice combo of Louris and Olsen was done to perfection and sometimes they blend so well it sounds like one. Highly recommended desert island disk.

Could have been recorded in 1971 (compliment!)Jul 28, 2008
A belated review for an album I've had for many years, largely because I've just read all the reviews and I'm slightly surprised at some of the comparisons - particularly Gram Parsons, who I can't hear in there at all.
For me, the antecedents of this band are not so much the Byrds/Burritos,as Buffalo Springfield and their offshoots, particularly Neil Young and - the biggest soundalike of all - Poco. If someone had told me this was an unreleased Poco album recorded between "From The Inside" and "A Good Feelin' To Know" I'd have been tempted to believe them.
Anyway, it's excellent, and has stood the test of time.

An enduring classicApr 17, 2008
I am not much of a music reviewer, but I just wanted to get my vote in. I have owned this album since it was released and I keep coming back to it. The songs are always fresh and leave me with a longing for other bands like the Jayhawks. If a band can create an album like this just once in their career, they have done a great job. I urge you to take a chance and buy this one, you won't regret it.
