Blue Earth

"Blue Earth" is an album by the American alternative country and rock band The Jayhawks, released in 1989 on the Twin/Tone label
After the local release of their debut album The Jayhawks, the band recorded a set of demos in order to attract a major label deal. Singer/guitarist Gary Louris was injured in a car accident and left the band. Their manager was able to interest Twin/Tone Records in releasing the demos. Louris went to the studio to overdub his guitar parts and ended up re-joining the band. The re-mixed demos were released as Blue Earth.
Blue Earth was re-issued on CD on the Rykodisc label in 2003 with three bonus tracks.
