Gary Louris' masterpiece came after Mark Olson quit the band. It is suffused with a quiet bitterness, weariness and longing, some crunching rock and aching twang. At the time it seemed to pass under many people's radar. A pity. Try these:
mp3 The Jayhawks: Sound of Lies
mp3 The Jayhawks: Bottomless Cup
The later song was written and sung by Tim O'Reagan. This is an acoustic take on his later song:
mp3 The Jayhawks: Tampa to Tulsa (acoustic)
An earlier Gary Louris song:
mp3 The Jayhawks: Waiting for the Sun (acoustic)
As a final treat, here's an Olson?louris song sung by Maria McKee, and the men themselves:
mp3 Maria McKee: Precious Time
