The Jayhawks are an American band, and not just because
they covered Grand Funk Railroad's "Bad Time" on their '95
album. Tomorrow the Green Grass. Fifteen years ago, the
Minneapolis band practically invented the
Americana/alt-country movement with their patented brand
ofrootsy pop-rock. But even then, the Jayhawks' music was
just as informed by singer/songwriter Gary Louris' love of
British Invasion bands.
The band's prominence on the contemporary rock scene is
attested to by Rolling Stone's inclusion of their classic
'92 effort, HoIIy\vood Town Hall, among its 34 greatest
rock & roll albums of the '90s. The Village Voice called
them "the only country-rock band that matters" while
influential No Depression named it among the 101 Greatest
"Alternative Country" More...
the first verse is the finest intro of any song i can think of, it sets the theme perfectly...the bittersweet position of a woman in a young girls world. The Jayhawks exude sensitive masculinity- Loris/Olson make up for all the rest of us male assholes. I love the jayhawks, esp the women's club cds.

------ About the song Save It For A Rainy Day performed by Jayhawks
This is a "happy" sad song. The spare words and the catchy, harmonic chorus send me every time and I love to sing along with it. Being from Kansas and a KU grad, I'm heartened to know it's by The Jayhawks and will be the first album of theirs I ever. buy

------ About the song Save It For A Rainy Day performed by Jayhawks
This song is so beautiful, man. Definitely 70s homage material...I still can't quite pinpoint the influence...kinda like their cover of "Bad Time" (Grand Funk)...with Crosby and Nash backups on the chorus...
But mostly solid Jayhawks with Gary Louris' wondrous voice and the walk-on solo in the break...
A++
