    Some nice tracks. but weighed down with lots of poor quality. Brilliantly average.

    Despite the weak point of O'Reagan's songs, Rainy Day Music succeeds better than any Jayhawks release since the band's last masterpiece with Mark Olson, Tomorrow the Green Grass.

    The group envelops the different elements of music available to them-- from folk, to rock, to Gram Parsons-influenced pop-- in such a way that is alternately enjoyable and excessively off-putting.

    These are tunes that would've fit perfectly on Top 40 radio in the Seventies.
