A gift from above; the kindest gentleman and most excellent everybodyfields taper fan named AtomicPope shared a gorgeous cover of the band covering the title track from the Jayhawks‘ album Sound of Lies. This is taken from near the end of a two night stand at the band’s original hometown venue, the Down Home in Johnson City, TN. Maybe it was the chilly December air, or the fact that the band was weary from years on the road, but the pace and sadness just pours out on this one. Contrasted nicely by some typical banter between Sam and Jill at the end of the track…
