Spotify Music: The Jayhawks Return With ‘This Forgotten Town’
New track is from band’s forthcoming album XOXO
It’s always a treat when The Jayhawks return with new music.
The band just debuted the lovely “This Forgotten Town,” the second track from the band’s forthcoming album XOXO. The song features vocals from lead singer Gary Louris and drummer Tim O’Reagan.
I’ve listened to the new song lord-knows-how-many-times, but then again I’m a die-hard fan who loves all the band’s work.
XOXO follows Paging Mr. Proust in 2016 and Back Roads and Abandoned Motels in 2018 - both equally enjoyable.
But I’m definitely looking forward to the new album.
XOXO is The Jayhawks’ most diverse and wide-ranging collection of songs, marking a new era for the beloved band. For the first time, the album includes lead vocal and songwriting contributions from all four members – Louris, Perlman, Grotberg and O’Reagan – bringing a new energy and confidence to The Jayhawks’ signature harmonies and infectious melodies.
