The Jayhawks

"The Jayhawks"(aka The Bunkhouse Album) is an album by the American alternative country and rock band The Jayhawks, released in 1986 on the Bunkhouse Records label In his review for Allmusic, critic 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. Out of print for many years, the album was digitally remastered from reel-to-reel and reissued by Lost Highway Records on May 18, 2010.
