About This Item
Vinyl LP pressing. 2016 album from the Americana/rock pioneers. Paging Mr. Proust finds the 2016 Jayhawks still remain one of America's foremost rock bands based around leader Gary Louris' gift for melody that has made them such a respected and seminal group for almost three decades. Paging Mr. Proust features the long-time core of the Jayhawks Louris (lead vox/guitars), Marc Perlman (bass), Tim O'Reagan (drums/vox), and Karen Grotberg (keyboards/vox). From the jangle of album opener InchQuiet Corners & Empty SpacesInch to the trademark harmonies of InchIsabel's DaughterInch to the more pensive InchLover Of The SunInch, it is clear that The Jayhawks' power remains undiminished from their initial national impact, 1992's Hollywood Town Hall. Other tracks such as the sludgy rocker InchLost The SummerInch, the kraut-rock groove of InchAceInch and the taut minimalism of InchComeback KidsInch bring new sounds to the palette. Paging Mr. Proust shows a commitment to adventure and forward motion, which makes this collection of songs exciting and instantly memorable. Album Tracks 1. Quiet Corners & Empty Spaces 2.
