Album Notes On his 2006 Lost Highway solo debut, ex-Jayhawks drummer/vocalist Tim O'Reagan offers up a charming set of pop tunes that bear the influence of 1970s folk even more than the alt-country sound of his former group. Steeped in a gentle, pensive vibe, the album showcases the Minnesota-based performer's multi-instrumental talents, keen sense of songcraft, and pleasantly raspy voice, as revealed on the breezy, harmony-dappled opener, "These Things," and the beautifully melancholy "Highway Flowers," which features fellow Jayhawks veterans Karen Grotberg, Marc Perlman, and Gary Louris.
Industry Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- The memorable melodies and yearning vocals are both uplifting and bittersweet.
With hazy hooks that land somewhere between RUBBER SOUL and NEW MORNING, along with dashes of Jimmy Webb and Nilsson... -- Grade: B
