Another Fine Day - Golden Smog - Another Fine Day - 2006

I dearly loved Golden Smog's 1998 album Weird Tales, and their first record has its share of gems along with the dross. But by 2006 they primarily served as Gary Louris' band, like the Jayhawks Mark II...with the occassional cameo by Tweedy, just ensure that the band could keep it's "Super-band" status.

Having said all of that...this may be little more than a Jayhawks retread, but it's a fine Jayhawks retread with some effective ambient guitar and a decently catchy chorus. It's no "Until You Came Along" but it'll do.
