"Take Me With You When You Go" comes from Hollywood Town Hall, the Jayhawks' 1992 album, and it's a Gary Louris and Mark Olson song through and through: the two wrote it together, play the guitars together and sing it together, their voices leaning into each other the way the best country-rock harmonies do. Marc Perlman holds down the bass and Ken Callahan the drums.

George Drakoulias produced and Brendan O'Brien mixed, and they leave it loose and ragged, a roomful of guitars with the dust still on them.
