Jed is the second studio album by American rock band Goo Goo Dolls, released on February 22, 1989 by Metal Blade Records. It was the band's first album in which John Rzeznik sang vocals for some of the tracks; the majority of the songs are sung by Robby Takac, with Rzeznik taking over for two ("Up Yours" and "James Dean"). The album was named after painter Jed Jackson, who was Robby Takac's art teacher at Medaille College and who painted the cover artwork, which is entitled "Arkansas Sunset".{{cite news|url=http://www.lockportjournal.com/art/gnnnightanddayarts_story_071102052.html?keyword=topstory |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130128033346/http://www.lockportjournal.com/art/gnnnightanddayarts_story_071102052.html?keyword=topstory |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-01-28 |title=ART: Jed Jackson returns for exhibit |work=The Lockport Union-Sun & Journal |date=2009-03-12 |accessdate=2009-04-24 }}
