The Jayhawks - 1995 - Tomorrow The Green Grass (Legacy Edition) @320
The Jayhawks were the most pop-wise band in alternative country — riding the rapture for 1992’s Hollywood Town Hall (also just reissued) — when they made this masterful 1995 union of wood-smoke aura and Beatlesque glow. “Blue” was exactly how Gram Parsons and Elton John would have sounded in the same song. “Pray for Me” was thoroughly modern Byrds, and “Real Light” was top prairie-garage action. A CD of acoustic demos emphasizes the crossed-blade harmonies of writer-guitarists Mark Olson and Gary Louris — a dream team sundered when Olson quit in 1995, stranding his group in what-might-have-been land.

* As of today 3rd Feb 2026. There will be no re up of posts on Vibes *
* So please don't waste your time asking for one. *
* If the link is dead, then so be it. *
* Box Of Vibes and Rob's Reggae Mix, will be available for a re up, but nothing else will be *
* This post will be at the top until next Tuesday, 10th Feb 2026. I want all who visit this site to understand, posts are now a one off, you take while it's alive! We will not re up any posts except for Box Of Vibes or Rob's Reggae Mix, which I promised his son Jnr, that Vibes would keep it available for all to enjoy *
* In all my time on the net, do you know I don't I have ever asked for a re up of post, anywhere, if it's dead then I do the work and search for an alternative working link else where. *
* I have decided to move the posting of Box Of Vibes to Mondays, from now on, So we reach Box 21. I (Reb) start this week with my selections from 1 to 8, then we get Andy's tracks from 9 to 16 and finally comes Conch's tracks from 17 to 24, Box closed. *
* We compiled these home made compilations about 6 months ago, so every week, I move the one to post into the laptop from the storage HD. So a take another listen!! You forget what tracks you used, so is nice to catch up with them again, I take a listen while fishing. *
* The main idea of these compilations is you introduce you to different genres of music, artists and band that maybe are new to you. Cover versions and alternative versions of songs that maybe you already know. *
* So take a listen, maybe you'll discover something interesting, please take the time to comment your opinion on these compilation good or bad, all feed back on them is very welcome. *
* For me we don't need art work, we just let the music included do the talking, after all it's all about the music selected!! Just a screenshot of the tracklist on the post is perfect. *
* Compiles the band's only studio album (tracks 12-21), their 7" singles (tracks 1-4, 6-11) and a demo track. The liner notes do not indicate the source of the demo or who played on it. Also, "The Masque" is not included among the album tracks; the liner notes do not indicate whether or not the single version of the song (track 10) was any different from the one on the original album. *
The Jayhawks - 1992 - Hollywood Town Hall (Expanded) @320
Not only did The Jayhawks' stellar major label debut "Hollywood Town Hall" introduce the band and its pop-driven country rock sound to a national audience, but it also shined a spotlight on the songwriting duo behind the group, Gary Louris and Mark Olson. Now, Legacy Recordings is honoring this 1992 classic with a single-disc reissue that includes 5 bonus tracks.
Even though this expanded edition doesn't contain nearly as much bonus content as its sister reissue, a 2-disc Legacy Edition version of the band's triumphant 1995 album "Tomorrow The Green Grass," the 5 bonus tracks, 2 of which have never been released before, and the digitally remastered sound make it an excellent collection.
Nearly 20 years after its original release, the songs still stand up and don't sound dated - a testament to Louris and Olson's shared vision. Harmony vocals, the single characteristic that most clearly defines The Jayhawks's sound, steal the show throughout with the laid-back Two Angels and the poppy opener Waiting For The Sun standing above the rest. Take Me With You (When You Go), with its hard-charging lead guitar work and gorgeous harmony vocals in the song's chorus, provides the clearest example of the dueling country and rock influences that shaped the band's unique sound.
The reissue's 5 bonus tracks, lead by the collection's most overtly "country" statement Keith And Quentin, strengthen an already spectacular release while extensive new liner notes from producer George Drakoulias and a clever note from friend and musical compatriot Joe Henry complete the package.
