The Jayhawks

The Minneapolis-based country rock band formed back in the mid-80s, forging a rootsy sound that wasn't quite rock or country. Over the course of two decades, several albums, countless memorable live shows and enough personal drama to fill a couple of Behind the Music episodes, the band soared to heights few ever achieve while winning the hearts and minds of numerous critics, fans and peers in the process. Following a brief hiatus, they returned in 2008 for a handful of reunion shows and the release of their first retrospective, The Jayhawks Anthology.
