Yesterday brought the very welcomed first listens to Gary Louris and Mark Olson's Ready for the Flood , due early next year on New West Records . Produced by The Black Crowes' Chris Robinson , the obvious appeal is to all those Jayhawks fans who have held themselves over on solo efforts by both Louris and Olson. Thankfully, Louris' Vagabonds and Olson's The Salvation Blues were both [...]
She Ain't Me will be released on August 5th. The organic folk style of this sophomore release from singer-songwriter, classically trained violinist, and Chip Taylor collaborator Carrie Rodriguez is a slight departure from the twangier country sound of her debut Seven Angels on a Bicycle . Gary Louris of The Jayhawks co-wrote several songs on the album, which features guest vocals by Lucinda Williams and Aoife O'Donovan of Crooked Still. don't a murder of crows on a maple roost hungry at night? don't loose flocks soar [...]

This time around he'll play Milwaukee's Turner Hall Ballroom for a very special $8.97 show sponsored by WUWM . The show will be supported by Ike Reilly and will have to tide me over until Gary and Mark Olson make amends and hit the road together again. Tickets: $8.97 / General Admission Discuss: What is [...]

The name Gary Louris may be unfamiliar, but those of us that were into the various "alternative" music scenes in the mid-1990s have heard him before. Louris was a founding member of Jayhawks and... **Click on the link to read the full post, download mp3s, and comment.**
if i had to create a tree of musical influence, gary louris would be at the upper echelons of said tree. its easy to forget the web of influence that he and the jayhawk's have woven over countless of bands since the late 80's. i say it's easy only because a lot of folks continually point to tupelo as the primary point of influence on the "alt country" crowd. regardless of who points to who, there is no denying louris' place in history. his first solo record, vagabonds , is without a doubt one of his finest hours. not to take anything away from his [...]
Les Jayhawks furent l'un des groupes les plus précieux à émerger de la scène roots-rock au début des années 90. Bien qu'ils ne rencontrèrent jamais le succès de certains de leurs pairs comme Wilco, leur amalgame sonore des Bryds, de Gram Parsons et de Big Star leur valurent de signer quelques classiques à commencer par Tomorrow The Green Grass en 1995. C'est justement après cet album que Mark
Gary Louris' "True Blue" from his new album "Vagabonds." Originally from MPR: The Current Song of the Day on March 16, 2008, 10:00pm
Preparing for this interview I was reminded of something I heard attributed to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It's easy to become a sentimental favorite, all you need to do is stick around long enough. Of course, this is paraphrased and it could just have easily been Wilt Chamberlain, Tree Rollins or any other NBA center who continued punching the clock long after his body was able to handle the nightly pounding. My apologies to the rightful originator, though I suspect he was paid handsomely for his efforts. Several years ago I caught a Grant [...]
There's not really much point in giving any type of back story to Gary Loudis. If you are a fanatical Jayhawks fan, you already know more about the man than I do, and if you aren't, well it doesn't really matter. The main thing is that after 20 years of making music, Loudis has finally released a solo disc that should find a home on everyone's shelf. It won't, but that makes little difference to me when I talk about Vagabonds . The record is simply beautiful. That's really all I should have to say [...]
Fleshed out with warm washes of pedal steel, harmonica, soaring choral harmonies, steeped in the metaphysical and marred by none, Gary Louris' debut solo record, Vagabonds (Rykodisc), is a pinnacle force and a country memoir pinned with heartache and bravery merits. After two decades with the Jayhawks, and over 10 years with modern alt-rock supergroup Golden Smog, Louris has amassed a powerful repertoire of collaborations and built a deeply compelling body of music whose artistry and integrity won the loyalty of an international audience and the respect of both critics and his peers. With the release [...]
hard to believe, with over twenty some odd years in the game, that vagabonds is the first solo effort from gary louris ...i guess spending time fronting the jayhawks & golden smog is an admirable diversion, but i'm digging this a lot more than anything those two groups have put out in probably the last ten years...its definately got that laid back, early seventies, california vibe that i only imagine producer chris robinson was begging for, but it really works...louris is heading out on a short tour next month (no stops in chicago) & apparently [...]
O.K. Here's the deal. It's Sunday afternoon, it's raining, the sermons written and I'm bored. Rather than doing the ironing or walking the dog I have come up with a new game. It works like this: 1. Switch on iPod 2. Hit random play 3. Post the first five tracks to the blog no matter how embarrassing they are Here are this week's offerings: Gene Clark – She Don't Care About Time [...]
Gary Louris - True Blue (via Songs Illinois) Vagabonds sort le 8 février.
As a follow-up and a continuation of my recent posts about The Jayhawks and Mark Olson's solo disc here is the first song to preview off the February `08 Rykodisc release of Gary Louris' solo debut Vagabonds . I could get all philosophical about the lyrical intent behind this song, or do the back story injustice by rehashing the history of the band, or I could compare this to classic Jayhawks' stuff to prove what a big fan I am. But I have no intention of doing any of that. Instead I just [...]

Lundi soir, je faisais partie de cette poignée de privilégiés réunis sous le haut patronage de Crossroads et Acoustic in Paris pour assister à une prestation solo du très rare Gary Louris. Evènement d'autant plus exceptionnel que l'intéressé n'était pas en tournée mais simplement de passage en vacances à Paris. Armé seulement d'une guitare, d'un harmonica et de son instrument principal, sa
