Jayhawks reissues coming in July

Americana forebears the Jayhawks emerged from Minneapolis' mid-'80s scene with a soaring combination of folksy harmonies and power-pop melodies.

July 1 sees the release of expanded versions of 1997's Sound of Lies, 2000's Smile and 2003's Rainy Day Music which complete the band's remastering of its entire back catalog. 


All three American Recordings/UME releases contain bonus tracks, new liner notes and expanded booklets.

They will also be released Aug. 5 as deluxe, 2 LP vinyl editions, remastered on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl with bonus tracks.

The basic lineup from the band's 1997 shows (Louris, Perlman, O'Reagan, Grotberg, Johnson) will tour in support of the reissues in July and August. Dates encompass headlining and festival dates in Europe, followed by a fall tour of the U.S. and Canada. Confirmed dates follow; for a current list of shows go to jayhawksofficial.com.
