JAYHAWKS — Xoxo (White Vinyl , Indie Only)

Attempts to pigeonhole The Jayhawks have long been fruitless, as any longtime fan or fellow musician knows. The band habitually transcends any label – Americana, Roots Rock, or Alt-Country: you name it – with great songs, musical adventure and sheer derring-do. ‘XOXO’ is the latest addition to the band’s varied catalog. While still very much a true Jayhawks record, this newest offering finds other band members exercising their songwriting prowess and sharing in on vocal duties alongside Gary Louris.
