Jason and the Nashville Scorchers Absolutely Sweet Marie
(for Jack R.I.P., Andy [why not?] and James Barber--and anyone else who had any Nudie, Manuel or Alamo shit hangin' off 'em in the Eight-0s)
THE FIRST JASON AND THE Nashville SCORCHERS AND FIRST PRAXIS VIDEO (MY BAND, OFB, GOT THE FIRST RELEASE: 001). UNDER THE RHINESTONE EYES OF (GONE TOO LONG AND TOO EARLY, JACK EMERSON AND SVENGALI, ANDREW MCLENON, THIS IS THE MOST ELECTRIFYING CONTRIBUTION THAT 'COUNTRY PUNK' WILL MAKE. AND LIKE ANY GOOD FIRST FIX, THE MORE THE ALT/COUNTRY, GRAM PARSONS-LOVIN' BANDWAGON HOPPERS TRY TO COP IT, THE MORE THE STUFF KEEPS GETTIN' STEPPED ON (Even JATS aren't immune to the bad habit).
Some get a decent nod in the beginning, but the majority just OD right off the bat.
THIS WAS FIRST, AND IT'S FOR KEEPS, AND IT ROCKS LIKE GEORGE JONES DRIVIN' AROUND NASHVILLE IN A CADILLAC WITH A CARDBOARD STANDEE OF HANK WILLIAMS RIDIN' SHOTGUN AND $10,000 DOLLARS OF WAYMORE'S COKE MONEY IN THE TRUNK WHILE HE SINGS ALONG TO OLD PAPPY DAILEY SONGS ON THE RADIO IN HIS DONALD DUCK VOICE ON THE WAY TO THE EXIT-INN! HAAAH!
Jack's in it. Andy's in it. Ronnie's in it. Some righteous Nashville cuntry ho's are all over it. And I was there at Tootsies (they tell me...that ain't no brag. I started early and regret everything I probably did).
