In 2020, The Jayhawks are still releasing warm, melodic records with just enough twang to firmly lay claim to their upper Midwest roots. All their records are worth buying but this really reminds me of their very early releases. I am not claiming that this was their intention but there is something about the feel of this record that reminds me of their releases back in the late 1990s. That is a good thing.
I lived in Minnesota for 4 years. While many bands and artists can state they represent the "Minneapolis/St Paul sound", the The Jayhawks capture the sound of rural Minnesota. Maybe because I lived there, The Jayhawks represent for that "feeling"...what is that "feeling"? ....'Feelin' Minnesota'.
