“…lilting vocals and gentle accoustic fireworks: The slow waltzing guitars and sweet, wrenching vocals of the mortality-obsessed ‘Will I See You in Heaven’ might seem melodramatic on any other record, but not here, because time rolling slowly away from us is the Jayhawks’ main subject matter.” – Rolling Stone on The Jayhawks
“…pioneers of the alternative-country movement.” – NPR
