On this episode, we discuss the 1995 LP by the Jayhawks: Tomorrow the Green Grass. It was the fourth (and final LP) of the initial Mark Olson/Gary Louris collaboration before Olson decided to leave the band (he would reunite with the band to record the fantastic Mockingbird Time). Tomorrow the Green Grass is exactly what you'd expect from a Jayhawks record; it is replete with their trademark harmonies, jangly guitars, unconventional song structures, and dreamy yet heartfelt lyrics. The addition of keyboardist Karen Grotberg brought additional depth and dimension to the band’s sound and resulted in an album that may just represent the Jayhawks at their musical zenith. 

 If you like your harmonies close, your guitars jangly, and your chord progressions unusual, then this is an album you are sure to enjoy learning more about.
