Tim O'Reagan of The Jayhawks

If you go, the bottomless cup runs out... The Jayhawks - Bottomless Cup

Tim O'Reagan is known as the drummer, backup vocalist and occasionally lead singer for the seminal Americana band The Jayhawks.  He has also written and/or co-written many songs for the band including the fantastic Bottomless Cup featured below.  

In 2005 he released a self-titled solo album.  I discovered the album recently and I highly recommend it.  O'Reagan's songs are very melodic and Americana sounding.  His voice reminds you of a Lennon/Dylan combination.  Some of the highlights for me include the opening tract These Things, River Bends, Just Like You, etc...

I got to see the Jayhawks in concert last year.  They were fantastic.
