Jayhawks founder Olson recalls Bunkhouse debut
By Chris M. Junior
Elvis Presley had Colonel Tom Parker, The Beatles had Brian
Epstein and The Jayhawks had Charlie Pine.
Even some longtime Jayhawks fans might not know much about Pine,
who was the alt-country band’s manager during its early days.
Like Parker and Epstein did for Presley and the Fab Four,
respectively, Pine played a key role in helping his act build
toward a long recording career. For The Jayhawks, the foundation
was the Minneapolis band’s Pine-produced, self-titled debut
album, released in 1986 on Bunkhouse Records.
Only 2,000 vinyl copies of “The Jayhawks” (a.k.a. The Bunkhouse
Album) were originally pressed. But on May 18, Lost Highway will
release the album on CD for the first time ever, and the CD
version will include a booklet with photos of the band from that
era as well as a new essay by Jayhawks founder Mark Olson.
