Blue Earth (album)
''Blue Earth'' is a studio album by American alt country and alt rock band the Jayhawks, released in 1989. History 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''. "Martin's Song" and "Two Angels" were later re-recorded on ''Hollywood Town Hall''. ''Blue Earth'' was re-issued on CD on the Rykodisc label in 2003 with three bonus tracks.
