This album soars above Mark's previous solo records post-Jayhawks. The spirit here is just like the Jayhawks' 'Blue Earth' record, but with years of experience and travel adding depth to his songwriting, Mark has delivered on the promise he left us wishing for on his last appearance with them. Much more focused than the Creekdipper records with Victoria Williams and company, and with renewed energy from traveling the world recording the demos for these songs as he wrote them, he also brought back an impeccable violinist from Italy, and a woman backup singer/instrumentalist from Norway. These two fill out his sound here and on tour, giving them a sound similar to Alejandro Escovedo's Orchestra but with only 4 players. Highly recommended for fans of singer/songwriter Americana, and of course, the Jayhawks. Touring late summer 2007 in the USA, then in Europe, a band you won't stop thinking about after seeing/hearing them.Read full review
