Jackyl is the debut album by American rock band Jackyl. It was released on August 11, 1992, on Geffen.[1]

Background

The record's clean issuance omits "She Loves My Cock." Likewise, on the cover art of edited versions, the "Parental Advisory" logo in the background is altered to say "Meaty bones beware of Jackyl."

Music videos were made for the tracks "The Lumberjack" (featuring the band performing at a wooded shack, complete with the chainsaw solo), "I Stand Alone" (featuring the band performing in front of a K-Mart as a protest for the store refusing to sell their album), "Down On Me", "Dirty Little Mind", "When Will It Rain" and "Back Off Brother".
