THE FARMER & THE COWMAN AT LAST!
Don’t want to make any rash claims or nuthin’ but I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE OF MY TURN-TABLE AND IT INCLUDES LOTS OF JASON & THE SCORCHERS. Yup and double yup. Y’ see, during the last couple of years, more and more bands on the post-punk periphery have taken to spicing up their sounds with country flavorings and some of ’em—True West and the Beat Farmers are two that come to mind—seem to be getting their recipes in order.

Don’t want to make any rash claims or nuthin’ but I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE OF MY TURN-TABLE AND IT INCLUDES LOTS OF JASON & THE SCORCHERS. Yup and double yup.
Y’ see, during the last couple of years, more and more bands on the post-punk periphery have taken to spicing up their sounds with country flavorings and some of ’em—True West and the Beat Farmers are two that come to mind—seem to be getting their recipes in order. But for music with a lot more strength to it, it makes sense to check out artists whose roots run deeper than last week’s oat opera re-runs. These guys used to be called Jason & The Nashville Scorchers, and I bet they did.
