-
Apr 28, 2016A bright, challenging album.
-
MojoApr 27, 2016The album's exemplary and diverse array of toothsome guitar sonics helps, but more crucial still is yer Hawks; oh-so-distinctive vocal harmony blend. [Jun 2016, p.96]
-

Apr 21, 2016With its serene harmonies and Byrdsy jangle of arpeggiated guitars, “Quiet Corners & Empty Spaces” heralds the most potent Jayhawks album in ages, with some of Gary Louris’s best songs captured at their sweetest by producers Tucker Martine and Peter Buck.

Apr 21, 2016It's a record that finds The Jayhawks in pristine fettle, it's country-rock stylings evoking the blithe warmth of 1995's Tomorrow The Green Grass while punching a little harder with age. [May 2016, p.70]

Apr 29, 2016If Mockingbird Time was a reminder of how well Olson and Louris compliment one another, this album demonstrates that Louris still knows how to make a memorable album as the group's sole leader.
-
Apr 27, 2016With or without Olson, the Jayhawks remain one of the lynchpins of Americana, a position they proudly solidify on the impressive Paging Mr. Proust.
-
Apr 25, 2016The album is a fitting addition to the band’s legacy and a confident demonstration that they are capable of keeping on for a long time coming.
-
Apr 21, 2016Songs such as the rolling The Devil Is In Her Eyes and the carefully layered Isabel’s Daughter are the work of a group who have absorbed much of what’s great about rock’n’roll and turned it loose in the present.

Apr 28, 2016There may not quite be the soaring quality of songs here that Hollywood Town Hall or Rainy Day Music offered, but its pleasures are manifold.
