	Meet The Band - Jason Ringenberg
		Jason was in the proto-alternative country bands Shakespeare's Riot and The Catalinas in 1980 and 1981.
		Jason was married in the mid-eighties and moved to a farm in Fairview, west of Nashville.
		Jason is unsure about the future of the Scorchers, but has hinted that the band will do something to commemorate their twentieth anniversary year, which falls from the end of 2001 through 2002.

	RollingStone.com: Thunder & Fire : Jason & The Scorchers : Review
		The American rock scene has changed substantially in the three years since the release of the last album by Jason and the Scorchers, the Nashville band that virtually invented the roots-rock movement, which emerged in the wake of punk.
		Thunder and Fire is Jason and the Scorchers' most audacious, most ambitious recording since their 1983 EP Fervor.
		Jason and the Scorchers started off the decade as one of rock's most explosive acts; they end it with even more firepower.

	Review: Jason & the Scorchers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		And maybe the fact that they first tried to foist their twisted (but oh so delightful) mix of country, rock, rockabilly and general madness on the public during our buddy Ronald's morning in America might have something to do with it.
		From all-out rockabilly like "Self-Sabotage" to high lonesome wails like "Everything Has a Cost" (with Emmylou Harris on backing vocals), Jason and the Scorchers can be seen as progenitors for everyone from Wilco to Tarnation.
		Old enough to know how to get where they want to go, and young enough to ignore the warning signs, Jason and the Scorchers blaze a trail of good times and broken hearts that is well worth a chunk of your hard-earned pay.

	TrouserPress.com :: Jason and the Nashville Scorchers
		Hillbilly cats with a serious punk streak, Jason and the Scorchers were — in their early days — about as un-Nashville as a Nashville-based band could be.
		In 1981, as the legend goes, Jason Ringenberg left his daddy's Illinois hog farm for the bright lights of Nashville and promptly stumbled upon guitarist Warner Hodges and bassist Jeff Johnson in a gutter.
		By the time the Scorchers delivered their long-come (and long-gone: they broke up soon afterwards) third album, the group was sporting a second guitarist and a new bassist.

	CNN.com - Blazing trails with Jason and the Scorchers - January 31, 2002
		So when Jason and the Scorchers came to town, with their fiery butt-kickin' triple-time covers of Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers, the locals didn't quite know what to make of them.
		Things happened quickly for Jason and the Scorchers then: a well-reviewed LP, "Lost and Found"; an MTV-played video for the single "Shop It Around"; and frequent tour dates with R.E.M., with whom the band had struck up an early acquaintance.
		Jason and the Scorchers looked ready to hit the big time.

	Country Standard Time: Jason and the Scorchers in concert
		Booed in honky-tonks for being too punk and abused in punk clubs for being too hillbilly, they created their own roost and proceeded to rule it like the hick visionaries they were, while influencing a whole host of youngsters who loved the twang and the loud-fast rules as much as they did.
		And though neither record industry nor most record-buyers gave a damn, the Scorchers never walked away from the intensity of their belief in the holy spirit that the best rock and roll is consumed by.
		So when in the midst of between-song patter, Jason Ringenberg called his band "seasoned veterans," he certainly didn't intend to suggest that their time may have passed - he was just stating a fact.

	Jason and the Nashville Scorchers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Jason had an innate understanding of the tradition of country music songwriting: cheating, drinking, love lost and found, commitment, sin and salvation, old-fashioned values, a sense of history and sometimes, a sense of the macabre.
		Jason and the Scorchers were something genuinely new and different (although the country sound would take hold on the West Coast around the same time, thanks to The Blasters, X, Rank and File, and later, The Beat Farmers and Long Ryders).
		Jason and the Scorchers are a great live band, but they need to be seen for full appreciation.

	Rockzilla.net Jason & The Scorchers "Wildfires & Misfires" by William Michael Smith
		It's been quite a year for the release of reissues and rarities, but few measure up to the supercharged sonic nuggets from the vaults of one of the hardest working bands of the 1980's, Jason and the Scorchers.
		Recorded for the Scorcher's Thunder and Fire album in 1988, the song was eventually left off the album because "unfortunately during that time a truckload of angel type songs came out so we decided not to use it." The track contains some of the slickest, most sophisticated backing harmonies ever recorded by the band.
		And to those who don't know the Scorchers but who happen to somehow end up with their ears in front of copy of Wildfires and Misfires, well, those folks are either in for an epiphany or a shock to their musical system.

		His longstanding band, Jason & the Scorchers, has been an alt-country favorite since its debut in 1981 and has regularly been picked to be the next big thing, a fate that has so far sadly eluded it.
		As much as Ringenberg wanted to break up the Scorchers at that point, he and the rest of the band decided the best thing to do would be to call it a "hiatus" and move on separately for the time being.
		Less likely is a new Scorchers album, which, simply from the logistical standpoint of studio time, production values, and promotion and distribution assistance, will probably wind up on a larger, more established label.

		I say, boy, this is Jason and The Scorchers and they been around longer than them sissy folk been stompin' round the dancefloor with their thumbs tucked under their waistbands like some foolish barnyard chickens.
		Yesiree, boy, Jason and The Scorchers have been making records since 1981 - that'd be when corporate country pin-up Shania Twain was barely out of her tarty little nappies.
		The album's wicked, shit kicking opener "Self-Sabotage" is a tale of life-as-a-vortex where old habits die hard, yet, in a way, the character relishes spiralling through life (though that might be because of all the beers he's consumed during the song).

		The style of Jason and the Scorchers has been pretty well described as a mix of country and western and heavy metal, and I think that Jason and the Scorchers would be a good place to start for people raised on a rock and roll diet, but are curious about CandW.

		The music Jason And The Scorchers played was based on the varied musical influences of the band's principal songwriter, Jason Ringenberg - from Hank Williams and Merle Haggard to The Ramones, David Bowie and Bob Dylan - and what came out was an electrifying fusion of country, punk and rock.
		Steve and Jason had become friends when Steve's career was first starting out, and Jason recalls how they would have long conversations on the phone about the future of music at 2 o'clock in the morning.
		Jason and The Scorchers spearhead the 1980s roots-rock movement, gain a reputation as one of the most...well...scorching live acts in all of music, and release two more brilliant records that somehow find common ground between Hank, The Ramones, and The Stones.

		The Scorchers were not only known for their own fine original songs, they were known for covering a wide body of songs by less than obvious performers (their 1995 recording of John Denver's 'Rocky Mountain High' as a speed-metal number thrilled hardcore Scorchers' fans, but left Denver purists dazed and confused).

		Starting with nary a pause, Jason launches into "Self Sabotage", a heated send-up from their recent bag of newly penned tracks, and keeps going without filler to be found.
		A favorite at live shows, this recorded version lacks none of the verve that Jason is famous for.
		Unlike other bands who have reformed from the 80s to the tune of nostalgia, Jason & the Scorchers don't so much pander to his faithful audience as he plays for himself with them in mind.

		Not for nothing did Jason and the Scorchers name their first basement-brewed recording Reckless Country Soul and now Jason steps out on his own in the year “Y2J” with a fine solo effort called A Pocketful Of Soul.
		Jason, on the other hand, is a soulful singer —- technically proficient but with too much honky-tonk in him to mimic the bland pop styling demanded by Nashville’s major label establishment.
		The focus here is on Jason’s vocals, however, and the damn fine songs that this talented wordsmith still manages to crank out after two decades of writing.

		Ten years ago Jason and the Scorchers sounded like an unholy cross of Hank Williams and the Ramones.
		I happened to be at one of the Nashville shows that was recorded for this two-CD live album, and the band's legendary status before a hometown audience was obvious.
		Even so, it wasn't the best Scorchers show I'd seen: the band thanked everybody they'd ever worked with, took uncharacteristically long breaks between songs, and included an okay but anticlimactic acoustic set.

		From the start, limits of speed and volume meant little to Jason and the Scorchers, and the band's first album of the '90s finds the Scorchers not merely reunited but recharged, firing away with an urgency that renews their earliest passion.
		Much has been made of how the contemporary generation of country artists was raised on rock, but too often the results sound like Loggins and Messina in boots and Stetsons, a dilution of the best of both styles.
		By contrast, the Scorchers are the real deal, the spontaneous combustion of country roots and rock and roll fervor.

		Ever the pragmatist, Jason dutifully attended Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1977, where he and his friends were exposed to the explosive might of the first punk rock movement, England’s Sex Pistols and The Clash, America’s Ramones.
		The Scorchers commenced to laying waste to venues both at home and abroad, bringing their infamous, eviscerating live performances to indefatigable heights and gladly throwing themselves over the proverbial edge.
		It was also slowly becoming clear that the road show of faith and madness that Jason and the Scorchers delivered, while still a virulent rodeo circuit machine all wholesome and hellfire laden, was slowly running its course.
