2012 is shaping up to be a great year to start a tour in Colorado. Longtime alt-country stalwarts The Jayhawks have been on hiatus since 2005. Now they're back with a new album and tour.
Mockingbird Time is out on shelves now and reunites the original lineup that was responsible for those seminal early albums Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow the Green Grass. We've come a long way since the critical breakthrough of 92's Hollywood Town Hall, but it seems the time apart and the solo works in between have only made the reunion of Mark Olson (who left The Jayhawks in 1995) and Gary Louris that much more exciting.
