Jayhawks without Olsen but with RocknRoll

Mark Olsen is no longer with the Jayhawks. I think first: What is this going? Finally, the recent albums of the best songwriters lived very duo since Lennon / McCartney and their fantastic qualities as vocalists. Then listen. Slowly it becomes clear what has changed. From Country-folk to rock to folk folky rock. Yes. Rocking the Jayhawks have become and that is good for them. Less bombastic than on 'Tomorrow ...', more Fuzzgitarren, more Beatles Revolver times. If this record does not quite come up to her Vörgängeralbum: it grows and grows with the hearing, has an entire shock potential hits (The Man Who Loved Life, Big Star, ...), continues to grow and continue. No, the other Jayhawks stuff like, will have a hard time, Mark Olson to get over goodbye, because what the Jayhawks has always identified besides the two are finally songs, arranges fantastic, rousing, beautiful cry. And there are also on 'The Sound Of Lies'.
