The Jayhawks - 1997 - Sound Of Lies (Expanded)



The Jayhawks - 1997 - Sound Of Lies (Expanded) @320


Following their first three studio albums, the alt-rock group Jayhawks released what was seen as their breakthrough record, 1994’s Tomorrow the Green Grass, thanks to the gorgeous single “Blue.” But after that release, co-singer/guitarist/songwriter Mark Olson departed the band, a serious blow that could have broken or slowed down the Jayhawks’ momentum. But fortunately the band carried on under the stewardship of Gary Louris, and for the next nine years, the Jayhawks crafted three underrated albums that have just been recently reissued with bonus tracks.

Whether it had to do with Olson’s departure or not, 1997’s Sound of Lies was a rather melancholy and dark record compared to Green Grass – and that mood could be traced in a couple of the songs, whether it is in the form of the reflective ballad Trouble or the turbulent yet brilliant epic “Dying on the Vine.” Great tracks like “The Man Who Loved Life” and “Think About It” should have been hits, and the rest of the record is peppered with gems in the rollicking “Big Star” and the pretty “It’s Up To You.” If anything, Sound of Lies proved there was still life in this band. Among the bonus tracks include a rough mix of the album’s title song. (CD Review)

* The Hitchers are an Irish band from Limerick. Formed in 1989. *

This critically acclaimed album, described by NME as “a work of lyrical genius” and which spawned the singles Strachan/You Can Only Love Someone, Killed It With My Bare Hands and Big Mug is long since out of print and can only be found 2nd hand on the likes of eBay or amazon – where there’s one loon looking for 60 sterling for it!!.  *

Tony Chin - 2000 - Music & Me



Tony Chin - 2000 - Music & Me @320


With over 25 years of recording roots style and rocksteady music for producers Bunny Lee, Lee Scratch Perry, Niney the Observer,and Joe Gibbs. Backing artists like Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Gregory Isaacs, John Holt, U-Roy, Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor, Big Youth, Burning Spear, Ken Boothe and many more, it's no wonder every song has hit the top of the charts.

As Roger Steffens, reggae historian and curator of the World of Reggae Archives in Long Beach, California stated,"Tony Chin is one of the great unsung heroes of Jamaica's golden age of reggae in the 1970's. As the rhythm guitarist for Soul Syndicate, the prime studio band in Kingston during that electrifying decade, Tony helped anchor some of the biggest hits of the era."

"Music & Me... hits with the solid thump of a Santa Davis drum Slam. On 'Guns Don't Argue' Tony rips through a powerful new arrangement of a Prince Buster ska original... originals like 'Fussing and Fighting', 'Mr. Babylon', 'Jah Rule', and 'Fire Bum' make you wonder why Tony waited so long to step up to the mic, and his playing throughout is impeccable."  (The Beat Magazine)

The Jayhawks - 1995 - Tomorrow The Green Grass (Legacy Edition)



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.
