The Jayhawks Debut Finally Coming To CD

05/06/2010
. The self-titled debut album from alt-country pioneers The Jayhawks will be released on CD for the first time on May 18th by Lost Highway.

The Jayhawks (often referred to by fans as The Bunkhouse album) was originally released in 1986 on Bunkhouse Records, with a pressing of only 2000 vinyl copies. The album will finally be available on CD, and again on vinyl for the first time in nearly 25 years.

The Jayhawks reissue will include a new essay by Jayhawks co-founder Mark Olson about album producer and then band manager Charlie Pine. The tracks are the original thirteen songs that appeared on the1986 album.

The 1986 incarnation of The Jayhawks featured Mark Olson (vocals/guitar), Gary Louris (lead guitar/vocals), Marc Perlman (bass) and Norm Rogers (drums). The album has more in common with Gram Parsons and The Flying Burrito Brothers than it does with later Jayhawks classics Tomorrow The Green Grass and Hollywood Town Hall.
