I've been populating these pages since 2008 (no need to look at those early efforts, really, though they're there should you feel the need). To this point, I don't know that I've ever reviewed a Jayhawks record. I suppose one reason for this oversight is that there have only been two releases since then: The Louris/Olson collab Ready For the Flood in 2008 and 2011's Mockingbird Time. Despite this fact, I wouldn't hesitate to place the Jayhawks among the pantheon of artists whose music has defined our program. Hidden away in some dusty drawer somewhere are years' worth of playlists from my very earliest radio broadcasts in Oregon, and I'm confident Louris and co. are among those seminal shows.
