The Jayhawks are back with legendary lineup

It's been 15 years since Mark Olson and Gary Louris both performed in The Jayhawks but the full band is back with a new album and tour. It's been way too long. 

WNYC's "Soundcheck" episode above features a mix of old and new tunes, as well as short interviews with host John Schaefer. The set closes with "Blue," which for the life of me was never a hit for them or anyone else smart enough to cover it. This is Americana at its best. 

I'm not a huge fan of the band, but whenever I put on "Sound of Lies" (the band's 1997 album and first without Olson), I think, "Man, this is so awesome. I need to listen to this more." For some reason I don't. (note to self: Must not be so stupid).
