iTunes Review
As a leading member of alt-country pioneers the Jayhawks, Gary Louris has become synonymous with the genre’s virtues and vices. His calm demeanor, his eloquent, understated observations, his use of Americana wanderlust symbolism (“Omaha Nights,” “Meandering,” "D.C. Blues”) all come backed with spare acoustic guitar, smooth, full-bodied organ, strokes of pedal steel and laid-back ‘70s-styled harmonies that owe as much to the Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills and Nash as they do to actual country music. Louris has always been more pop craftsman than the Midwestern cowboy his image suggests. Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson oversees the production duties for Louris’ solo debut and his job mostly keeps the guests freely circulating (the Bangles’ Susanna Hoffs and Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis are among the backing vocalists). A beautiful vocal delay haunts “Black Grass.” The sweet country gait of “She Only Calls Me On Sundays” recalls the aching loneliness of a Jimmy Webb tune. The tight ensemble choir of “We’ll Get By” evokes ‘70s AM country-soft-rock. Replace the 2008 copyright date and affix 1974 and few would argue the difference.
Customer Reviews
Should be famous!
It's a shame that the Jayhawks and Gary Louris were never as big or well known as they should be. One of the best bands around since their debut. Rainy Day Music was such a great album, I was wondering when we were going to hear from them again. Any Jayhawks fan will love this album. If you are not a fan, become one...buy this album!
Excellent post-Jayhawk Album
If you are here, you probably already know who Gary Louris is, so I'll spare you the history. Vagabond picks up where Rainy Day Music left off, only without the detours of the other band member's songs. This is a more complete, cohesive effort that displays Gary's unique ability to generate beautiful melancholy melodies, while creating unique musical textures. In short, it's a great album, and a unique effort.
Beauty is simple...
Gary Louris has added to his resume of stellar song writing with this first solo effort. These songs sneak into your soul and convince you that they have always been of your own flesh and blood; they are just as comfortable and genuine radiating over the dust strewn roads of the desolate desert as they are in the "lovely, dark, and deep" woods of Minnesota, or the soft, warm waves shaking hands with the shore in Key West. Louris' voice will connect the emotions that run between the bills you have to pay and the memories of your first kiss; the deceptively simply melodies will seep into your conscience and remind you that sunshine is miraculous; and the lyrics will tell you more than you're willing to admit. Great album from one of the great song writers. Nothing less than beautiful.
