    The Jayhawks are still crafting music that should be emulated. And that in and of itself is why Mockingbird Time is worth its 50 minutes.

    The trademark ingredients that turned Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow the Green Grass into seminal classics are retained via Olson's yearning vocals, the sun splashed harmonies and their adept meld of Americana, vintage West Coast rock, strings and psychedelia.

    Mockingbird Time, the band's first album in eight years, places them right back in the hazy glow of Laurel Canyon sunset. [Oct 2011, p.123]

    Mimicking another old-timer who grabbed a copy of this splendid release off the racks, I didn't hear a bad song on the ride home. This is harmonic major-key Americana made for these discordant rocky times. Mockingbird Time has just become my favorite album by the Jayhawks.… Expand
