Hidden Treasures - Part 1009

After Mark Olson, one of the heads 1995, the Jayhawks had left, gave many of the band no longer great opportunity. But Gary Louris succeeded on the published 1997 album 'Sound of Lies' loss to make more than up for it. He composed almost all the songs alone.
The mix of Americana and alternative country, which had determined their previous albums, was usefully complemented by a turn towards rock with slightly psychedelic influences and Beatle-esque melodies and yielded a compact, impressive album, which really only one thing was missing: the deserved success.
Whether power pop à la Big Star ('Big Star' [sic], 'Think about it'), ballads ('The man who loved life', 'Sound of Lies'), Country (' It's up to you ',' Bottomless Cup "), psychedelic Beinflußtes ('Poor Little Fish', 'Dying on the vine') or Beatles Crowded House-style ('Trouble', 'I hear you cry') - which is music that sweeps easy which is addictive.
