The Jayhawks (album)
The Jayhawks is the debut album by the Jayhawks, released in 1986.[6][7][8] It is also known as the Bunkhouse Tapes.[2] The 1986 pressing was limited to 2,000 copies.[3] HistoryOut of print for many years, the album was digitally remastered from reel-to-reel and reissued by Lost Highway Records on May 18, 2010.[9] The re-release features an eleven-page booklet designed by Mark Olson. "Falling Star" is available on Music from the North Country – The Jayhawks Anthology. ReceptionIn his review for AllMusic, Mark Deming contrasts the early Jayhawks sound with their later work and noted "though it captures some strong and confident performances from a fine band, it's clear they were still a few years away from finding the sound that would make Blue Earth and Hollywood Town Hall some of the most memorable music to come from the first wave of alt-country."[2] Entertainment Weekly wrote that "the songs sometimes bland out, but Mark Olson and Gary Louris’ vocal harmonies still shine."[10] Trouser Press wrote that "the band stakes out its derivative style with so much spirit that it almost sounds original."[11] Track listingAll songs by Mark Olson, except 1, 2 and 4 by Gary Louris and Mark Olson.
