Background

Live at the Belly Up is a live document of a typical The Jayhawks 2014/2015 live show, recorded professionally by the in-house team at the Belly Up Club in Solana Beach, CA. [4] At 20 songs with a running time of 80 minutes it contains almost the entire January 11, 2015 show. [5] The lineup for this show is the entire 1997 touring lineup of the band with the addition of John Jackson on mandolin. This lineup began playing shows in June 2014 in support of the 2014 reissues of the Sound of Lies (1997), Smile (2000) and Rainy Day Music (2003) albums. [6] The setlist concentrates on songs from those three albums, supplemented by older Jayhawks material, an old country cover [7] that The Jayhawks originally released a studio version of on the b-side to the "Bad Time" single (1995) [8] and two songs from the Golden Smog catalog. [9]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">The Jayhawks</span> American country and rock band

The Jayhawks are an American alternative country and country rock band that emerged from the Twin Cities music scene in the mid-1980s. Led by vocalists/guitarists/songwriters Gary Louris and Mark Olson, their country rock sound was influential on many bands who played the Twin Cities circuit during the 1980s and 1990s, such as Uncle Tupelo, the Gear Daddies and the Honeydogs. They have released eleven studio albums, with and without Olson, including five on the American Recordings label. After going on hiatus from 2005 to 2009, the 1995 lineup of the band reunited and released the album Mockingbird Time in September 2011; Olson left the band for the second time after the tour to promote the album. After another hiatus in 2013, the 1997 lineup led by Louris reunited to play shows in 2014 to support the reissue of three albums originally released between 1997 and 2003. Since then, the band has continued to tour and record, releasing the albums Live at The Belly Up in 2015; Paging Mr. Proust, co-produced by Peter Buck, in 2016; Back Roads and Abandoned Motels in 2018; and XOXO in 2020.

At various times, members of Soul Asylum, The Replacements, Wilco, The Jayhawks, Run Westy Run, The Honeydogs and Big Star have worked with Golden Smog. Given the fluid collaborative nature of Golden Smog the lineup has often changed, but relative constants who appear on all the recordings are guitarists Kraig Johnson, Dan Murphy and Gary Louris, along with bassist Marc Perlman.
