I've always admired Gary's ability to make his SG sound like a pedal steel, and nowhere more than this song. Proud to be Minnesotan along with the Jayhawks!
They were such a great band. Now that Olson and Louris are performing together again, I wish they would stop the nonsense and just get The Jayhawks back together again. In today's musical wasteland, talents like these guys are so needed.
This is such a great song on a great album. They really were/are an underrated band. I can remember this song so well from my college days. I listened to this album constantly, but hardly anyone I knew knew of them and weren't interested because they weren't "grunge"
Gibson SGs can sound like a Tele if you try to bring that out of them. That era of Gibsons were influenced by Fenders... or more specifically the fact that the twangy Fender sound was dominating the charts and the guitars were outselling them. The thinner bodies on SGs (which were replaced the discontinued Les Paul model at the time) and Firebirds were the result of going for a brighter, twangier Fender-like sound.

Gary Louris on guitar - it's like he's plucking my heart strings...

It's funny, for a while I thought the chorus lyrics were "two egg shells, one bad hen". I had it on a burned cd that didn't have song titles on it.

@bernyshakey: That's actually a great lyric you've got there. You should write a song with that!

Thanks for posting this. I probably still have a VHS tape of this at home. This performance truly changed my musical life when I was 15.

The Jayhawks captured that upper midwest melancholy sound perfectly; along with Dylan and Firetown (Butch Vigs' band from the 1980's)
