The Jayhawks
About The Jayhawks
Along with Uncle Tupelo, the Jayhawks were part of the 1980s wave of alt-country (as opposed to 1970s-style country-rock) bands, filtering the influence of artists like Gram Parsons through an alternative rock sensibility. The band's first three albums were powered by two strong singer-songwriters, but when Marc Olson left to collaborate with his wife Victoria Williams, Gary Louris became the leader and moved the band toward a more rock-pop direction for the next couple of albums. 2003's RAINY DAY MUSIC, though, found the Jayhawks adopting a more acoustic, Crosby, Stills & Nash-like sound.
