4. The Jayhawks' self-titled debut album (1986) only hints at which genre that they would be noted for during their career?
From Quiz The Winds Of Change
Answer:
Alt-Country
Initially alternative country bands were seen as those that had successfully melded the influences of country music with elements of rock and roll. Moving forward that definition has been broadened and we now use the same term for country artists who apply the influences of punk, rockabilly, bluegrass and folk amongst a wealth of other genres to their craft.
The Jayhawks' first album, often labelled as the "Bunkhouse Album" (after their label, Bunkhouse Records) by their fans is, essentially, a country music album. The disc documents a young band still finding their feet. There's a raw, sometimes clumsy feel to the record but a number of things shine through. First of these are the harmonies conjured by Mark Olson and Gary Louris and, despite the fact they only worked together for a short span, these would be a signature statement for the band in all their recordings going forward. This album is also very upbeat in tempo and it doesn't hint strongly at the contemplative path their music would follow in the future. And, despite these being their tender years, there is a cleverness in the songwriting. There are however, two tracks - "Let the Critics Wonder" and "King of Kings" - that do provide a hint to where the band's future lay.
