It's a shame these guys weren't more widely known from this lineup. There was a magic in the Olson/Louris version of the Jayhawks. I still like them to this day but this was something really special. Not a phone in sight, people living in the calm before the storm.
Not sure exactly when I discovered the Jayhawks but it certainly was a good bit later than 95, I’d guess between 2005 and 2010. I had been listening to a pretty good radio station in Chicago and heard a few songs and became a fan!
This is from 95? Good heaven time slipped away so fast I saw them in Berlin same year. They played two sets and in the break I had a drink with the guy with the glasses, talking about his Gibson SG. Great intimate concert in a small venue with these nice lads and the lady.

Was just reading a tribute to the 400 bar on the West Bank in minneapolis. Used to kind of live there and the Jayhawks were regulars. Late 80's early 90's?!! I don't remember much 😄 Still much loved band in Mpls. I miss Mark Olsen and those signature harmomies, but Gary's voice is great as ever.
What happened to this band? Caught them live in Portland , OR right around this juncture. Set list was tight from start to finish but when Gary and Mark exited stage they were arguing like wet cats on verge of trading blows.
Mark left the band shortly after this time. Don’t know the inner details. Mark was the founder of the band. He was married to Victoria Williams at the time and left to be with her. They made a few records together called the Original Harmony Creekdippers. Gary continued on with the band to this day. Mark came back for one recording in 2011. I just saw them live for the umpteenth time Last week in St Paul and they were still wonderful. They have withstood the test of time.
