    Back in the '90's I ran a very cool record store in Knoxville, Tn, and was lucky enough to meet, and become good friends with the band. Hanging out with the Jayhawks after a killer show on their bus is one of my greatest memories. Every time they came to town, Gary would call my store to make sure I was coming to the show. This release really does it all for me. Great music from great guys!

    If you're much of a Jayhawk fan at all, you've probably got the first disc. It's still nice to have some of their best work together on one disc for a drive or for work. The second disc is made up of demos, B-sides and songs that just didn't quite make it to the albums. Set up as the first disc, the first ten songs cover the Mark Olson period of the band, with the second ten songs covering 1997-2003. The interesting part for me is the work-in-progress nature of the second disc. You get the original version of Two Angels in the song "Old Woman From Red Clay," and a two-stepping version of "A Break in the Clouds" from the Smile album with "Stone Cold Mess." Also, you get to hear the original version of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," also from Smile, with the superior (to me, anyway) "Someone Will." The set includes some B-sides like "Darling Today," the B-side to the song "Blue." Also included is one track from the mysterious 1986 Bunkhouse album in "Falling Star." Non-album gems like "In the Canyon," "I Can Make It on my Own," and "Get the Load Out" grace this set as well. It's a generous helping of works in progress and roads not taken. If you're a fan, you should have this, and since it's on Itunes you can preview and get what you want. It's all good.
