iTunes Review

1995’s Tomorrow The Green Grass was the Jayhawks’ last long-player with original co-founder and singer/songwriter Mark Olson (that is until he reunited with the band in 2009). Produced by the whip-cracking studio disciplinarian George Drakoulias and trimmed with the beautiful keyboard work of Karen Grotberg, who first appeared here as a fulltime band member, many fans still consider this album to be the jewel in the crown of the Jayhawks’ discography. “Blue” sets the tone with acoustic guitars, barbed melodies, tasteful arrangements and the uncanny vocal chemistry between Olson and co-frontman Gary Louris. They turn Grand Funk Railroad’s “Bad Time” into something that sounds like Tom Petty fronting Crazy Horse. In hindsight it seems foreboding that the stunningly beautiful Americana baroque-pop tune “I’d Run Away” was sequenced to play before “Miss Williams’ Guitar,” a Gram Parsons sounding country-rocker that was written for High Desert chanteuse Victoria Williams, whom Olson married and formed the Original Harmony Ridge Creekdippers following his departure.

Customer Reviews

Best of the 90's

This wonderful album belongs among the very best of the decade. Regardless of the "genre" of music you prefer, you will find the song writing and perfomances on this record to be astounding. There is an interplay among the musicians that this band never again captured after Olson left the band. It leaves me wanting more, yet makes me treasure this album for the rarity that it is... because it will likely never be recaptured. I have enjoyed the deapth of the lyrics on songs like "Ann Jane" "Two Hearts" and "Over My Shoulder". Certainly, the is a subtlety and maturity to the perfomances and lyrics that are reserved for those who are able to appreciate such things...which makes this album even more special. It will likely take a few listens to soak in, but its worth the time investment if you're looking for a masterpiece to add to your collection. -Travis Eby, Lancaster, PA

Tomorrow The Green Grass

Not quite as good as Hollywood Town Hall, but it's very enjoyable and "Blue" is one of my all time favorites.

Led by the gifted songwriting, impeccable playing, and honeyed harmonies of vocalists/guitarists Mark Olson and Gary Louris, the Jayhawks' shimmering blend of country, folk, and bar band rock made them one of the most widely acclaimed artists to emerge from the alternative country scene. The group sprang up in 1985 out of the fertile musical community of Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Olson had been playing standup bass in a rockabilly band called Stagger Lee. His desire to write and perform his own...
