The Jayhawks Lonely Stretch of Highway

I can change like colors on a wall...  The Jayhawks - Everybody Knows

The Jayhawks consistently  put out great music. Their new album, Back Roads and Abandoned Motels, is no exception and is fantastic.  The album consists of mostly songs written or co-written by Gary Louris, the band's anchor.  As a singer, Louris can carry a melody like no one's business.  Background harmony singing from pianist Karen Grotberg and drummer Tim O'Regan mesh beautifully.  The band is completed by long time bassist Mark Perlman and multi instrumentalist/new comer John Jackson.
