A handful of newer blues influenced tracks today. All of these are from releases that came out during 2007. Cowboy Junkies - Cutting Board Blues Buy At The End Of Paths Taken Bright Eyes - Cartoon Blues Buy Four Winds EP Sister Vanilla - Pastel Blue Buy Little Pop Rock [...]
It's refreshing to find an artist that's not afraid to bare his soul for us. Mark Olson , former founder of the Jayhawks , has delivered his first solo album entitled Salvation Blues. He claims that after a life-changing event, the music rescued him from a deep depression (hence the title). I'm glad he started writing again and I'm glad he collaborated with some other fine musicians to bring music to his poetry. I've never been a huge fan of the Jayhawks, but Mark Olson has won me over with a refreshing [...]
I got into The Jayhawks kind of by mistake. I was killing a lunch hour at Tower Books when I heard a song that I thought was a new Lindsey Buckingham tune. When I went to ask one of the clerks about it, I found it it was the then new Jayhawks album, Tomorrow The Green Grass. After hearing about three songs, I walked across the parking lot to Tower Records and bought it. It's been one of my favorite albums ever since. It seems to be my curse that [...]
Mark Olson, "Clifton Bridge" Just a reminder that you have two chances tomorrow to catch Mark Olson if you're in DC/NVa. First up is a 12:30pm performance and signing at the Borders book store in the District at 18th and L. Second is a show tomorrow night at Iota with The Last Town Chorus. The Iota show supposedly starts at 8:30pm sharp, so get there early. Mark is touring in support of his
Last night I was lucky enough to see The Last Town Chorus open up for Mark Olson (former Jayhawk founding member) at the Iron Horse Theater in Northampton, MA, both of which are touring in support of their latest albums ( Wire Waltz for The LTC and The Salvation Blues for Mark). It was a small crowd that I was a part of, but quite an enjoyable evening. For those of you not familiar with The Last Town Chorus, the chorus really is Megan Hickey , playing [...]

Toutes les occasions de parler des Jayhawks sur ce blog sont les bienvenues. C'est d'abord Mark Olson qui fait parler de lui. Il y a un peu plus d'un an, je consacrais un post au couple qu'il formait avec Victoria Williams. Et bien ce couple n'est plus et c'est tout le sujet de son nouvel album, The Salvation Blues, qui doit sortir est sorti le 12 juin prochain dernier. Les chansons ont été
Each weekday, My Morning Download introduces you to some of the coolest new music on the web. We clear through the noise so you don't have to. Here's a new tune from one of the founding members of The Jayhawks, Mark Olson Fans of The Jayhawks will rejoice at the return of Mark Olson on a new solo album called The Salvation Blues on Hacktone Records. The album will be released on June 12th.
I don't even want to do a google search for "Songs:Illinois" and "Jayhawks". I think it would be a depressing look at the cop-out that is comparing one band to another. If I'm ever at a loss for words describing a band that even remotely shares the sound of Gram Parsons, The Eagles or Wilco then I usually resort to comparing them to The Jayhawks . Ironically I discovered the band in 1992 in a crappy Scotti's Record store in the small New Jersey town of Madison (in the cut out section no less!). At [...]
