After decades of perfecting the alt-country sound with the seminal Jayhawks, Gary Louris released this sterling solo debut in 2008. VAGABONDS acts as the perfect crystallization of everything the movement championed: the marriage of country music`s economy and emotion with the saw-toothed production sound of modern alternative rock--here, coming courtesy of producer and Black Crowe Chris Robinson. If Gram Parsons had lived, this is the record he would have made in 2008: full of swooning heartbreak, death obsession, vaguely psychedelic imagery, and yearning, nostalgic vocals.
