The Jayhawks - "Trouble"

The Jayhawks are a Minneapolis band that have been releasing catchy alt-country music since 1985. The core members are Mark Olson and Gary Louris (both vocalists and guitarists) and I could confidently say that they were a big part of the alt-country rise during the early 90's, which included bands like Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, Son Volt and Lucinda Williams to name a few. "Trouble" is from their 1997 album 'Sound of Lies' and was the first post Mark Olson album after his departure. Gary Louris takes control and the results are fantastic. A melody drug with no danger of an overdose.... more please.
