Jason & The Scorchers: Jason Ringenberg (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica); Warner E.

Includes liner notes by Warner Hodges and Jason Ringenberg. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. It takes a special kind of country band to be able to get away with quoting Rudyard Kipling in your first words from the stage, but then, Jason and the Scorchers were never an ordinary country band. The two-disc blowout MIDNIGHT ROADS AND STAGES SEEN proves that over and over. Unlike the majority of alt-country bands, Jason and the Scorchers are as skilled at punky Rolling Stones-style raveups as they are sensitive Gram Parsons ballads, and throughout these 24 songs, Jason Ringenberg and crew veer from one to the other in classic ragged-but-right fashion. Lead guitarist Warner Hodges deserves special credit for his remarkable ability to play the wrong notes in the right places.
