The Jayhawks are an American rock band, sometimes described as Alt-country, or more often today, Americana (music). They released six studio albums on the American Recordings label. As of mid-2005 they are both rumored to have disbanded, and not to have.
The band formed in 1985 in Minnesota with Mark Olson (acoustic guitar and vocals), Gary Louris (electric guitar and vocals), Marc Perlman (bass) and Thad Spencer (drums). They released a self-titled album in 1986 on Bunkhouse Records. Their music at the time, written by Olson, showed a strong roots/country-rock influence.
