SXSW scene report: Gary Louris and Mark Olson at Jo’s Coffee
The Jayhawks are back together. The Jayhawks are back together. The Jayhawks are back together. Seriously, you’d have thought John Lennon came back from the dead to reconcile with Paul McCartney, what with the throng at Jo’s Coffee spilling out onto South Congress Avenue for the seminal alt-country duo’s Friday evening set.
Truth told, only the Jayhawks’ principal players, Gary Louris and Mark Olson, have reconvened, after Olson bailed on Louris 15 years ago. The duo played from its new album, “Ready for the Flood,” but the crowd wasn’t there for any of that business. They wanted to hear golden oldies from the albums “Hollywood Town Hall” and “Tomorrow the Green Grass.” They wanted to sing along to the song “Blue.” Well, they got what they wanted.
