"Gary Louris admits that he's not normally a fan of musical reunions.
For most people I would say, 'Bad idea, don't do it,'" the singer-songwriter said. "Don't get back together, because it's not going to be the same, and you're a nostalgia act."
But Louris is confident that his repairing with old Jayhawks' partner Mark Olson for the upcoming album "Ready for the Flood," their first musical collaboration on record in more than a decade, is an exception.
"We're kind of unusual, we've always been," Louris told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "Hopefully we'll just break the mold. We'll show how maybe when sometimes people get back together, they can make music that's as good (or better than) they did in the past, and it's not a shadow of what it was, just to make money."
This sits well with me.
