Review

Rolling Stone (p.68) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[O]n tracks like 'The Rose Society,' Olson and Louris sound as though they were born to sing together."
Spin (p.92) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Olson & Louris evince real sorrow and regret with little more than a carefully picked acoustic guitar and ghostly organ tracing the tracks of their tears."
Entertainment Weekly (p.99) - "[W]hen these two twine their pretty voices around girl-in-trouble songs like 'Turn Your Pretty Name ARound' or 'The Rose Society,' they can still make a stone weep." -- Grade: B+
Dirty Linen (p.61) - "Olsen's cracked-timbered voice and Louris' dry, steady tone create harmonies of unlikely perfection, and seem emblematic of the collaboration as a whole."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he return of the sweetest harmonies that any thinking country fan could hope to hear is certainly something worth singing about."

Title Note

On the first album they've released together since they were partners in The Jayhawks in 1995, singer/songwriters Mark Olson and Gary Louris reconvene for a recording that's unlikely to disappoint fans of their old band. But while they mine a thoughtful country-folk vein that's not far removed from Jayhawks territory, Olson and Louris take a somewhat softer, more acoustic-based, balladic approach here than they did in the Jayhawks days, lending READY FOR THE FLOOD a warm, honeyed glow.
