STORE LOCATOR

Note: this was a one time pressing and the supply of unsold copies is strictly limited to what various retailers have in stock. When they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

My vision for Vagabonds was to make my own mini-All Things Must Pass, one of my favorite albums of all time. I wanted to find that special place between pop, rock and traditional music. I’ve always loved music that exists in the seams, between genres. And there was a real synergy between everyone involved that made it a very happy record to make.

New Jayhawks album is out

The 10th Jayhawks studio album, Back Roads And Abandoned Motels, was released on July 13, 2018 through Legacy Recordings.

Available in Digital, CD, and 12" vinyl formats, Back Roads and Abandoned Motels is first Jayhawks release of new music for Legacy, who previously issued the group’s first compilation, Music From The North Country - The Jayhawks Anthology, in 2009 followed by releases of expanded Legacy Editions of the group’s fabled breakout titles - Hollywood Town Halland Tomorrow the Green Grass - in 2011.

Recorded in two vibrant sessions in 2017, Back Roads and Abandoned Motels finds the current incarnation of The Jayhawks - Louris (vocals, acoustic and electric guitars), Marc Perlman (bass), Tim O'Reagan (vocals, drums, percussion), Karen Grotberg (vocals, piano, keyboards), John Jackson (mandolin, violin, acoustic guitar) - going for a lean, simple approach,  at times reminiscent of the fabled Rainy Day Music era, while they put their unique spin on these 11 new performances of Gary’s songs. The Jayhawks have long blessed with an abundance of superb vocal talent and on the new album Karen and Tim each sing lead on two songs. Tim performs “Gonna Be a Darkness” and “Long Time Ago” while Karen takes lead vocals (for the first time on a Jayhawks album) on the opener, “Come Cryin’ to Me (which also features a soulful horn section arranged by David Ralicke) and on “El Dorado.”

Back Roads and Abandoned Motels expands the group’s repertoire with brand-new recordings of songs that frontman Gary Louris has co-written with other acts: “Come Cryin’ to Me” (originally released on Natalie Maines’ Mother in 2013); “Everybody Knows” and “Bitter End” (released on Dixie Chicks’ Taking The Long Way in 2006); “Gonna Be a Darkness” (written and performed by Louris and Jakob Dylan for True Blood: Music From The HBO Original Series - Volume 3 in 2011); “Need You Tonight” (originally released on Scott Thomas’ Matson Tweed in 2015); “El Dorado” (originally released on Carrie Rodriguez’ She Ain’t Me in 2008); “Bird Never Flies” (originally released on Ari Hest’s The Break-In in 2007); “Backwards Women” (written with Wild Feathers but never recorded) and “Long Time Ago” (written with Emerson Hart of Tonic but never recorded).

Back Roads and Abandoned Motels also marks the debut of two of Gary’s latest songs, “Carry You To Safety” and “Leaving Detroit.”

ALBUM TRAILER

New Ray Davies album recorded with The Jayhawks now out

The new Ray Davies album, OUR COUNTRY: AMERICANA ACT II, is now available on CD, 2LP vinyl and digital formats through Legacy Recordings.

TO BUY OR LISTEN: https://RayDavies.lnk.to/americana-II

The continuing story of The Kinks co-founder’s journeys through America, as depicted in his 2013 memoir Americana and last year’s album of the same name, OUR COUNTRY: AMERICANA ACT II is an album borne from Davies’ vision of America – how it shaped him and evolved through the years. His reflections on his experiences in America instigate personal reformation, and eventually rediscovery and celebration of his own origins.

OUR COUNTRY, like its predecessor, was recorded at the legendary Konk Studios in London with guitarist Bill Shanley and The Jayhawks once again serving as Davies’ backing band plus a group of UK musicians.

The album picks up several intriguing musical threads from Davies’ extraordinary songwriting catalog, from the opener “Our Country” – which is developed from a melodic theme heard in  AMERICANA’s title track – to reinterpretations of songs inspired by America and written for various projects over the years, including “Oklahoma USA” (first heard on The Kinks’ MUSWELL HILBILLIES), “The Real World” (from 2007’s acclaimed solo album, WORKING MAN’S CAFÉ) and “The Getaway” (from 2006’s OTHER PEOPLES LIVES).

The story of Our Country: Americana Act 2

OUR COUNTRY: AMERICANA ACT II was arranged and produced by Ray Davies; the album was co-produced by Guy Massey and John Jackson. All songs were written by Davies.

Davies is currently working on a theatre/film piece based on both AMERICANA and OUR COUNTRY.

Back Lot Music has released a soundtrack album for Jason Reitman’s comedy drama Tully starring Charlize Theron. The album features the film’s original music composed by Rob Simonsen (Foxcatcher, (500) Days of Summer, Nerve, Love, Simon, The Spectacular Now). Also included is the original song Let You Go by Beulahbelle (Kaitlyn & Mady Dever) and the band’s cover of the Nancy Sinatra-performed by John Barry/Leslie Bricusse-written You Only Live Twice, as well as tracks by The Jayhawks (the song Blue, featured in a key scene in the film), The Velvet Underground, Rufus Wainwright,  and Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam. 

Tully is directed by Reitman, written by Diablo Cody and along with Theron also stars Mackenzie Davis, Mark Duplass and Ron Livingston. The movie follows a mother of three who comes to form a unique bond with a thoughtful, surprising and sometimes challenging young nanny named Tully. The dramedy premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and was released on May 4 in theaters nationwide this weekend by Focus Features.

Super Bowl Live 2018

“Once in a lifetime” often is a tired cliche, but it definitely applies to our Super Bowl LIve concert on February 3. The stage was outdoors, on 8th & Nicollet Mall, right next to the old Dayton’s building, less than a mile from where Super Bowl 52 was played the next day. We were on a bill celebrating Minnesota music with our friends Bob Mould, The Suburbs and Soul Asylum, It was about 12 degrees on stage at show time with some light snow blowing around, and the temperatures were dropping rapidly. In other words, fairly typical Minnesota winter weather. But once the set started and the crowd responded, it was clear that this was going to be anything but typical; this was one of the most memorable shows in The Jayhawks long 33 year career. Thanks to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for curating this amazing display of Minnesota music. Special thanks to the Super Bowl Live staff and crew, who did incredible work under the most difficult and demanding of circumstances. Mega props to our crew, Paul and Larry, who did such a great job under battlefield conditions. And, most of all, thanks to all of the hardy people and dedicated fans who braved the conditions for this once in a lifetime event. Bold North, indeed. #skol

Norm Rogers 1956-2018

                                                                 Photo: Norm Rogers Go Fund Me page

Original Jayhawks drummer Norm Rogers passed away on February 19, 2018 in Sioux Falls, SD after a battle with cancer. He was 61.

After leaving the US Navy and before joining The Jayhawks, Norm was active in various local Minneapolis bands during the late 1970s and early 1980s, including The Neglecters, where he played with future Jayhawks bandmate Marc Perlman. In 1985, Norm joined forces with Mark Olson, Gary Louris and Perlman in The Jayhawks, forming the lineup that released the Jayhawks’ self-titled debut album in 1986 (aka “The Bunkhouse album”). Being a punk rocker at heart, Norm helped to “bring the rock” to the early Jayhawks, giving an extra kick and spark to their early country-rock sound. After leaving The Jayhawks in 1987, Norm was a charter member of The Cows, a seminal, anarchic noise-punk band that was about as stylistically different from The Jayhawks as one could possibly get. In recent decades, Norm pursued a variety of activities and was a long time manger at Brit’s Pub in downtown Minneapolis. During a memorable Jayhawks 3 night stand at First Avenue in Minneapolis in 2010 - not long after the band had reemerged from a hiatus of several years - Rogers joined his old bandmates on stage to play a few songs from The Bunkhouse album, marking the last time he would play with The Jayhawks.

Norm was a good man and an accomplished musician who was an integral part of the legendary 1980s Minnesota music scene. He will be sorely missed by all. RIP Norman B. Rogers.

Biography:
Golden Smog is a Minneapolis-based, loosely connected inter-changeable group of musicians from notable bands comprising members of Wilco, Soul Asylum, The Replacements, The Jayhawks, Run Westy Run, Big Star and the Honeydogs. Since their inception in 1989, many members have come and gone, with the following musicians having appeared on all recordings: Kraig Johnson (Run Westy Run), Dan Murphy (Soul Asylum), Gary Louris (Jayhawks) and bassist Marc Perlman (Jayhawks). The group originally played in and around Minneapolis doing mainly cover song sets as a country-rock reaction to the punk and hardcore music that dominated the region. In 1995 they released their debut album, “Down By the Old Mainstream,” recorded at Pachyderm Recording Studio that was made up of mainly original material with a few covers. Drummer Chris Mars of the Replacements was gone by now and the line-up consisted of Johnson, Murphy, Louris, Perlman and two new members: Jeff Tweedy of Wilco and Honeydogs drummer Noah Levy. All members were credited under pseudonyms to avoid contractual issues with their other record companies.

Golden Smog article from the St. Paul Pioneer Press

by Jim Walsh (January 1996)

It happened three days into Golden Smog’s five-day recording session for their debut album, “Down by the Old Mainstream,” last summer at Pachyderm studios in Cannon Falls.

Drummer Noah Levy of local roots-rockers the Honeydogs had already laid down his tracks, which left the five other players - Soul Asylum’s Danny Murphy, the Jayhawks’ Gary Louris and Marc Perlman, Run Westy Run’s Kraig Johnson and Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy - sitting in a circle, conducting an old-fashioned late-night jam.

A Smog mission statement emerged from that circle session in the form of “Radio King,” an off-the-cuff homage to musical heroes - both in and outside the Smog - sung by Tweedy: “Your music fills my car/ Your voice breaks every time/ I’m still wonderin’/ If I know who you are/ I hang on every line.”

“To me, that song is totally about being a music fan,” says Murphy. “And that’s kind of the vibe of the band. I’m obviously a big fan of all these guys’ work. It was pretty exciting to play with guys whose records you’d probably buy, even if you weren’t on it.”

The first incarnation of Golden Smog, which included former Replacements’ drummer Chris Mars, released an EP, “On Golden Smog,” in 1992. But as the players’ careers cranked up, Golden Smog (the moniker comes from a Mel Torme-inspired character on “The Flintstones”) was put on the back burner. In the summer of 1994, Murphy, who had been an admirer of Tweedy’s old band, Uncle Tupelo, contacted Tweedy to see if he wanted to collaborate. The two got together and wrote, and Murphy booked a show at the Uptown Bar, with the Smog billed as Circle the Drain.

For Tweedy, who had just experienced a stormy breakup with Uncle Tupelo, the gig was healing. “Doing that show really made me feel like I could play live again,” he admits.

The other members of Circle the Drain/Golden Smog also were at various crossroads when they entered the studio. The Jayhawks had just finished recording “Tomorrow the Green Grass” and were scheduled to tour Australia and Japan with Counting Crows. Soul Asylum was preparing to record “Let Your Dim Light Shine,” and Wilco had just finished “A.M.”

“We were all in our band modes,” says Perlman. “And when we got together, it was `Wow. This was meant to be.”’

In essence, Golden Smog served as a musical vacation from the players’ high-pressure careers. And when Johnson, who isn’t the primary songwriter in Run Westy Run, presented his friends with some of his original material, it was received with no-holds-barred enthusiasm. Suddenly, Golden Smog had evolved from a jokey cover band into a creative cocoon.

“Nobody would ever say, `Well, you should do this’ or `You should do that,”’ says Johnson, of the Smog’s creative process. “Everybody would just kind of go, `Hey! That’s a good idea, let’s try it.’ And sometimes when that happens, you think it’s great, and then the next day, you have a hard time listening to it. But that wasn’t the case. Even though it was recorded more than a year ago, I listen to it, and I don’t say, `I wish I would have done this or that.”’

“When you feel like you’re doing it for the pure joy of it, without any expectations, somehow things get easier,” says Louris. “It was a lot of work, but there wasn’t that cloud hanging over your head, saying, `This is your next record, and this is what your career’s based on, and this is your shot for this year.’ Because of that, it turned out much cooler.”

For Perlman, the experience provided a creative outlet, which he had explored on “Promises Broken,” the latest Soul Asylum single co-penned by him and Murphy.

“It’s so much easier to collaborate with your friends,” says Perlman. “It looked like a retreat in there: Everybody was just pairing off into corners, writing lyrics and stuff. It was just a really good vibe.”

“Everybody was just sitting in little circles, finishing stuff,” says Murphy of the session, which includes vocal cameos from Son Volt’s Jim Boquist and Soul Asylum’s Dave Pirner. “It was actually pretty fun. I don’t even think we knew we were making a record. We just thought we recording some stuff to see what would happen. But when we got the tapes back, I was pretty devastated.”

That can be attributed to the top-notch material, much of which was discarded by the musicians’ first-string bands, including Tweedy’s “Pecan Pie”; “Won’t Be Coming Home,” by Louris and his former Jayhawks partner, Mark Olson; Louris and Johnson’s “V,” about their mutual friend Victoria Norvelle; and Murphy’s “Ill-Fated.”

“`V’ is definitely a different lyrical direction than Olson usually likes to go,” says Louris. “And it might not have happened without the Smog, because everybody knew her, or had dated her or been friends with her. So everybody was into the song - because it was about Victoria, also.”

“I remember the first time I heard `Won’t Be Coming Home,’ the Jayhawks were opening for us in the mainroom,” says Murphy. “And I said, `Christ, what is that song, Gary?’ And he said, `Oh, it’s this thing I’m working on.’ I was just stunned. And it didn’t get used on their record, because someone said it sounded too much like R.E.M. or something. That’s completely ridiculous.”

For Murphy, whose songwriting in Soul Asylum usually takes a back seat to Pirner’s, Golden Smog functions as equal parts buddy club and essential artistic outlet.

“I decided awhile ago that the only thing more pathetic than a guy in a band is a frustrated guy in a band,” he says. “Columbia [Soul Asylum’s record label] has certain ideas for Soul Asylum, and it includes me to an extent. But if something doesn’t get used, I’m not real political. I’ll just say to the guys, `I think you’re missing the boat; I think this is a good song.’ And nine times out of 10, they’ll agree. But if I have something that I’ve finished, I prefer it to be on a record. So that’s what really motivated me to do the Smog.”

As for the future, the Smog will mount a two-week tour that visits First Avenue Feb. 29 and March 1, and ends up at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, in mid-March. Other than that, there are no concrete plans. Anything more would smack too much of - yikes! - a full-time band.

“It reminds us what it’s like to have fun making music, for the sheer enjoyment of it,” concludes Perlman. “Because we didn’t go into it with the idea of selling a bunch of records.
