The Jayhawks’ Hollywood Town Hall, one of Alternative Country’s two or three key recordings, is also reissued this week, but 1995’s follow up, Tomorrow The Green Grass, is augmented by a disc of ‘The Mystery Demos’, fascinating lost 1992 recordings.
The album proper builds on Hollywood Town Hall’s template, windblown Stonesey country rock with an Eighties American indie accent, enlivened by Mark Olson’s eye for dramatic scenarios.
The second CD evidences a new and unknown Jayhawks, Gary Louris and Olson’s perfectly matched voices harmonising starkly over back-porch acoustic vignettes, like mid-west poetry professors on an informal song-writing weekend.
