I See Hawks in L.A. - Shoulda Been Gold (2010)

Part of the new wave of American bands like the Jayhawks, Wilco and My Morning Jacket whose psychedelically-tinged country-rock sound recalls that of the Byrds or Buffalo Springfield, I See Hawks in L.A. has, over the course of four albums, forged a formidable underground reputation; so formidable, in fact, that the band has decided that the time has come for its first best-of! . And we re more than happy to let em do it, particularly because this 17-track collection includes two unreleased tunes and three new recordings, two of em with Collectors Choice Music label artist Carla Olson. Includes Hope Against Hope ; Humboldt ; Raised by Hippies ; Beautiful Narcotic Place I Reside ; Byrd from West Virginia ; Motorcycle Mama ; Midnight in Orlando ; Highway Down ; Wonder Valley Fight Song ; Grapevine ; California Country , and I See Hawks in L.A. , plus the unreleased Sexy Vacation and Soul Power and the new tracks Shoulda Been Gold ; Bossier City , and Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulet .
