Jayhawks call it quits..Excellent band with a solid track record. MArk Olson left the band a few years ago to hang out with wife, Victoria Williams. Gary Louris kept it going in fine form and they turned a bit more electric over the years. I saw them several times..always a good show
oddly enough Louris and Olson are back touring together, but no longer the JAyhawks.
An under appreciated band that had a huge following here in Austin..I suppose they were the beginnings of ALT-Country along with Uncle Tupelo and a few others
sad to see another great band end it...My kids grew up on "Tomorrow the Green Grass" and "Hollywood Town Hall"..there might be one throw-away tune between the two Records...both are just fabulous stem to stearn. I urge everyone to go buy these records..independent artists deserve our support..you can't go wrong here
Three "classics" from "Tomorrow the Green Grass" (1995)..this can in no way pay proper tribute to such a great band but....just maybe they'll grab a few new fans
the beautiful "Blue"

Where have all my friends gone
They've all disappeared
Turned around maybe one day
You're all that was there
Stood by on believing
Stood by on my own
Always thought I was someone
Turned out I was wrong
You brought me through
And you made me feel
Chorus:
So Blue
Why don't you stay behind
So Blue
Why don't you stop and look at what's going down
Lived by an old woman
She'd never sell me a lie
It's hard to sing with someone
Who won't sing with you
Give all of my mercy
Give all of my heart
Never thought that I'd miss you
That I'd miss you so much
You brought me through
And you made me feel
(Chorus)
All my life (Stand by)
I've waited for (Stand by)
Someone I (Waiting round)
Could show the door (Now, that I’m blue)
But nothing seems to change (That I’m blue from now on)
You've come back into my arms
So Blue
Why don't you stay behind
So Blue
Why don’t you. Why don’t you stay behind.
So Blue
Why don’t you. Why don’t you stay behind.
So Blue
Why don't you stop and look at what's going down

and the haunting "Two Hearts"...when the "I'm lonely" chorus hits the pain hits hard...you can feel it
"Two Hearts"
captaink.home.texas.net
Well, I know your name
Takes you back from where you came
Your words, they show
Sometimes it's real to be alone
So real to be alone
I survive, it's true
But when I get close to June
Alright, okay
It's just two hearts that make us pay
Two hearts that make us pay
It's no better when you cry
Well, have you stopped to watch? She'll fly
Well, have you stopped to watch? She'll...
I-I-I-I'm lonely
I-I-I-I'm lonely
I-I-I-I'm lonely too
Well, the love you need
I don't expect you to let me see
You held your grace
It's just two hearts that make us pay
Two hearts that make us pay
You appear so strong
Only faith could lead us home
Alright, okay
It's just two hearts that make us pay
Two hearts that make us pay
Oh, two hearts that make us pay
#3-- "Ann Jane"..I like the sound of this tune..classic HAWKS
