So the Jayhawks are finishing up a new album coming next year and started a Pledgemusic campaign for preordering it and other stuff like bonus tracks! Check it out!

The three tunes they play in that little video clip sound AWESOME!
Maybe this will be like a SOL part 2? :)
The new album is out on NPR streaming. Stunning compared to what I expected. Rarely do albums leave this kind of impression after one listening. Produced by the guy who did the Waterfall, Tucker Martine, AND Peter Buck, who also sat in I believe. Ballsiest Jayhawks album ever. And Gary is 61. Can't wait for my deluxe autographed LP to arrive next month.

saw them last weekend and they were as great as ever. listening to the stream now.
going to see them tonight!!! really liking the new album!
Not impressed in the least by Mr. Proust. Very disappointing effort by these guys I really used to love them, now--meh
I liked a few songs off of it. Enjoyed seeing them again when they toured on it too.
Their new album Back Roads and Abandoned Motels is excellent. It was great to hear Tim and Karen get some lead vocals too. Definitely worth checking out!
Good review here:

The Jayhawks are doing pro show live streamed concerts and they are really great! There are 2 more coming up if anyone is interested. Well worth it IMO since they won't be touring for a while.....

The Sound of Lies livestream concert was simply sublime! I am so happy that they are doing this.
I am excited for their 3rd and last (so far) in this live stream series which is on Jan 10. It's the covers and rarities show so it should be pretty interesting!
IMO - the Jayhawks are as good as ever these days!
So my dad asked if i wanted to go see the Jayhawks this week with some of his work friends and one guy that is a super-fan. I really only knew "Blue" but listened to their live album yesterday, the show was last night and it was really good, really enjoyed it and will definitely be listening to them more
That is awesome! Thanks for posting. I am jealous since I feel like they haven't been around near me in about 4+ years now.
If you are looking for any recommendations I would definitely listen to Hollywood Town Hall, Tomorrow the Green Grass, Sound of Lies, Smile and Rainy Day Music to start off with.
Saw them last night. Sounded great and perfect setlist.
