Golden Smog: “Until You Came Along” (1998)
From the second full-length outing by the side project supergroup comprised of members of the Jayhawks, Soul Asylum, Big Star and Wilco among others.
The band formed in the Minneapolis area playing mostly covers in local clubs. In its infancy the lineups, setlists and even band name were fluid.
They played mostly Eagles covers as the “Take it To the Limit Band”. They played a Rolling Stones-themed show under the band name “Her Satanic Majesty’s Paycheck”.
But by the time of their first full-length LP in 1995 (following the covers EP On Golden Smog in ’92) they were recording mostly originals, with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and Gary Louris of the Jayhawks often contributing the best material.
Golden Smog continued to record in between members’ other projects, hanging around long enough to warrant a Best Of, Stay Golden Smog, in 2008.
The standout track “Until You Came Along” sounds like something straight off a Jayhawks album.
And that’s a good thing.
