(PR) Jayhawks Frontman Gary Louris has set his solo debut. Fleshed out with warm washes of pedal steel, harmonica, soaring choral harmonies, steeped in the metaphysical and marred by none, Gary Louris' debut solo record, Vagabonds (Rykodisc), is a pinnacle force and a country memoir pinned with heartache and bravery merits. After two decades with the Jayhawks, and over 10 years with modern alt-rock supergroup Golden Smog, Louris has amassed a powerful repertoire of collaborations and built a deeply compelling body of music whose artistry and integrity won the loyalty of an international audience and the respect of both critics and his peers.
In addition to preparing to tour behind Vagabonds, Louris has been engaged in a number of varied projects, including co-writing and performing on a number of songs on the Dixie Chicks newest record and producing the Sadies new album.
