Jason and The Scorchers: Philadelphia 1984

After the Georgia Satellites i couldn't find a better one than this fine blend of country-punk-rock. A recording from a Radio broadcast with some tape hiss, kinda natural, this took place more than 20 years ago!
On the Ripley Music Hall in Philadelphia, Jason and The Scorchers prove their reputation of a fine live band playing songs from the EP Fervor and the LP Lost and Found that would be released a year later (1985).


Sound Quality: 8.5

Track list:
01 I Can't Help Myself
02 Are You Ready For the Country?
03 White Lies
04 Last Time Around
05 Lost and Found
06 I Really Don't Want to Know
07 Hot Nights in Georgia
08 Pray For Me Momma (I'm a Gypsy Now)
09 Travelin' Band
10 Help There's a Fire
11 Honky Tonk Blues
12 Absolutely Sweet Marie
13 Harvest Moon
14 If Money Talks
15 Change The Tune
16 Great Balls of Fire

every time Jason and the Scorchers played the Drumstick in Lincoln, NE, it was a flat out life changing experience. They were the soundtrack to some of the best nights of my life!

They used to pull through Austin, Texas regularly. They were one of the finest rock n'roll bands to ever walk the face of the earth. I hope that they do some touring in support of their new album released later this month and make the trip back to Austin. Thanks for sharing this
