JASON RINGENBERG BEST OF ALBUM
Jason Ringenberg’s new album BEST TRACKS AND SIDE TRACKS 1979-2007 will be released on January 22 in the US on Yep Roc Records.

The double CD set is a complete overview of Jason’s solo career to-date including his pre-Scorchers band Shakespeare’s Riot and new versions of Farmer Jason and Jason & The Scorchers favorites.

Disc one features the best of Jason’s solo recordings, largely focusing on the Pocketful Of Soul, All Over Creation and Empire Builders album, plus three new recordings. Disc two rounds up a clutch of previously unheard rarities including the thought to be lost version of Jimmie Rogers Last Blue Yodel that Jason recorded in London, England with The Wildhearts.

The albums release party takes place on January 19 at The Liberty Theater in Murphysboro, llinois. Helping raise the roof are Carbondale’s mighty Woodbox Gang who are one of Jason’s favorite American bands, so much so that they guest on a new version of the old Scorchers standard Broken Whiskey Glass especially recorded for the new album.

In away this show brings Jason full circle as he started his musical career in Southern Illinois in 1978 and several of the songs on BEST TRACKS & SIDE TRACKS originated in the Murphysboro-Carbondale area.

Both Jason and The Woodbox Gang will be playing full sets, with the The Woodbox Gang closing out the night. The action kicks off at 7.30 with tickets available on the door. Don’t miss this one fight fans ‘cause it’s going to get rowdy!

Nice one can't wait to hear the track

Oh, well spotted - best news I've heard in ages. And I'm loving that sleeve. I'm raising a glass in this record's honour already. Roll on January...

That looks like a great set. Now all I want is to get the early J&S stuff re-released so it doesn't cost £50 (or so ) a pop on Amazon

Holy shit...that's FANTASTIC news!

Excellent news. Am gunna be buying that for sure!

Thought the stuff they did with The Wildhearts had been lost!

On a related note:

I got back this week from seeing 4 Dan Baird and Homemade Sin gigs in Denmark (that's the main man from the Georgia Satellites for any younger listees!).
Warner Hodges is now in Dan's band (as well as The Scorchers...obviously).
Anyone who met up with Warner at the Ginger and the Scorchers gigs recently will, I'm sure, agree with me that he is one hell of a bloke. And one hell of a geetar player!

Met up with him after the shows and he mentioned that there's a very good chance of some Jason And Scorchers UK/Euro gigs next year....so keep yer eyes peeled! He was also full of praise for Ginger, and at one of the Dan Baird gigs he took to the stage proudly wearing his "The futures bright...the futures Ginger" T-Shirt.

Hey-all Yay-ahh!

I managed to get hold of most of the ones I have for not too extortionate prices (apart from Both Sides Of The Line which is universally hugely pricey ) from Amazon and Ebay sellers. I think the most I paid was about 20 quid for an import of Clear Impetuous Morning including postage (from an Amazon trader called 'Thebook community').

You can stream - & pre-order - the album ( including "Jimmies" ) here :

The first 100 pre-orders get an "autographed by Jason" copy.

Man, that Jason/WH team-up is a little over 2 minutes of ass-kickin' .

got mine ordered...

love the scorchers

Jason came thru town last nite ( great show as always ) , & I got the chance to chat with him about this track.

Since it's a tune we thought we'd never hear, I asked him if it was his copy that was used for the CD. He grinned & said "No way was I getting out of that studio without a copy of it." He also implied that no way in Hell was he gonna leave the safekeeping of the recording to the other people in the room. So he snagged a copy, threw it in his bag, & off he went.

Sooooooooo glad he did.

I had a birthday party last saturday, and my brother inlaw gave me this:


I dont now where he got it, but i can say that i was lost for words a couple of minutes.

I was talking to Jason after the scorchers gig in Glasgow and he told me a similar story about the song.
The double album is a great collection of tunes from his 20 years.
Would be great if the hears and him could do something again.

i just got this tune at last off emusic... fanbloodytastic!

i'm more intrigued by "Caggein Bomb" tbh.

This has already had a u.k. release last november.i got mine from esprit for £12.99 plus p+p.They`ve still got it listed,so you dont have to get it from america,unless it`s cheaper of course .
