One of the leaders of the Americana/roots music movement, the Jayhawks have reconvened with their classic line-up for the first time since 1995's Tomorrow The Green Grass with the goal of making their best album ever. Did they do that?

The Jayhawks were at the forefront of the Americana music genre with their fantastic 1992 album Hollywood Town Hall album. Take a listen to the band's new single from the just-released Mockingbird Time album.

Known as one of the most influential bands of the 1990s, The Jayhawks started out, as many bands do, on a very small label.  This album, rarely heard before now, was their debut in 1986.  It's now been properly re-issued.

Here's one of the classic songs from the Jayhawks' first career-spanning anthology.
