Jason And The Scorhers - Both Sides Of The Line (1996)












This band shouldn’t need any introduction, these guys blazed a trail for the cowpunk/alt country scene that followed. This set contains 2 full albums, Fervor (1983) & Lost & Found (1985). This is rockin’ country with a punk energy like none before, Warner Hodges guitar work is fantastic and Jason’s twangy angst ridden vocals are just killer. If these guys ever come to a town near you, don’t miss it, their live shows are excellent. According to their website something is in the works for spring of 2009, check it out here. If you have had the misfortune of never hearing this band, this is the place to start, from the opener Absolutely Sweet Marie you will be hooked. Turn it up!!!!!!!!! And if you enjoy this please support these guys, they deserve it!
