"Blue Earth" is a 1989 album by The Jayhawks.

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.
