"Settled Down Like Rain" comes from Hollywood Town Hall, the Jayhawks' 1992 album, and it's a Gary Louris and Mark Olson song from top to bottom: they wrote it together, both play guitar on it and both sing, their voices leaning into each other the way close harmony ought to. Marc Perlman holds down the bass and Ken Callahan the drums. George Drakoulias produced it and Brendan O'Brien mixed it, keeping everything warm, dusty and unhurried, more porch at dusk than arena.
