The Jayhawks - Tomorrow The Green Grass
Hey y'all. My name is Josh. Kyle and Emily have been kind enough to take me into the Heavy Boots family and let me make some posts. I'd like to start out with a band that I've enjoyed for a long, long time and a little snippet I wrote for a friend that I was trying to introduce them to. I hope any of you that haven't heard this enjoy, and I hope that if you have heard it that you pull it out and roll the windows down. - This is one of those records I had to grow into. I found it sitting curiously on the shelf at Oz Music (great Tuscaloosa, Ala record store) one afternoon and was intrigued by the cover art and band name. I asked the clerk if he had ever heard it. He had, and described it as a kind of folksy, "Alt. Country" record. I bought it without having heard it. Knowing that "the all knowing record store dude" recommended it, I didn't need any further convincing. When I popped it in my car CD player, I got a big surprise. My ideas of this "Alt. Country" stuff centered around harder edged bands like Uncle Tupelo and Lucero. What I found was more of a classic 60s pop record with a country twang. I hadn't yet discovered The Byrds, or Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers (that would come much later), so I had no real touchstones for this album. Thinking that it might not be my thing, I let it collect dust in my room for several weeks, maybe even into the months. Finally, I gave it another chance. From the opening chords of "Blue" I had the feeling that I had heard this song in a movie (still can't figure out if I ever really have). What was weirder was that the song made me feel like I was IN a movie. From there, I found the perfect pop bliss of "Miss Willams' Guitar", the gut-wrenching "Two Hearts", the bar band bravado of "Real Light" and the bittersweet, tight woven harmonies of "Bad Time". I couldn't understand why I hadn't loved this record from the start, but there it was blasting out of my speakers as I cruised down McFarland Blvd in the Spring of what I believe was 2005. Since then I've never doubted this as one of my favorite albums.
This album is also being re-released as a two disc "Legacy Edition", so be on the lookout for that. I'm sure it will be packed with tons of b-sides and extras. Labels: The Jayhawks
