Album Notes
Jason & The Scorchers: Jason Ringenberg (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica); Warner Hodges (electric & acoustic guitars, timpani, percussion); Jeff Johnson (bass, acoustic guitar); Perry Baggs (drums, background vocals, percussion).Additional personnel: Emmylou Harris (vocals); Fats Kaplin (steel guitar, fiddle). Recorded at Bakos Amp Works, Atlanta, Georgia. The second album Jason and the Scorchers released after their six-year layoff, 1996's CLEAR IMPETUOUS MORNING isn't quite as surprisingly forceful as 1995's A BLAZING GRACE. But where that album focused largely on the cowpunk aspects of their sound, CLEAR IMPETUOUS MORNING has a more varied blend, mixing Stonesy raunch with softer ballads and covers like a rollicking take on Roger McGuinn and Gram Parsons' "Drugstore Truck Drivin' Man." The blazing "Self-Sabotage" and the playful "Cappucino Rosie" are equally fine, and the quartet's twin leaders, yowling singer Jason Ringenberg and scorched-earth guitarist Warner Hodges, show Johnny-come-latelys like the Black Crowes what those groups have been trying to accomplish all along. This is as good as alt-country gets.
Editorial Reviews
These country punkers once again prove themselves to be the only legitimate living incarnation of the Rolling Stones...MORNING has the haphazard brilliance of a mid-Stones relic like TATTOO YOU... - Rating: A
Entertainment Weekly (10/04/1996)
3 Stars (out of 5) - ...the energy level has been pumped back up to the point where the band sounds as excited about what they're doing as they did back in the early-'80s....this is required listening for anybody who truly hates line dancing.
