Halcyon Times

Attitude is everything, and on this riveting new album—their first in a decade—reconstituted Nashville rock band Jason & the Scorchers demonstrates it still has plenty to spare. Singer Jason Ringenberg and guitar foil Warren E. Hodges are in full roar, aided by a new rhythm section and ace collaborators like Dan Baird, Tommy Womack and producer Brad Jones. They raise a ruckus on sturdy rockers like “Moonshine Guy” and “Days of Wine and Roses,” while finding poignancy on reflection in personal fare such as “Beat on the Mountain” and “Golden Days.” “Looking back now it seems to be/This old life’s been good to me,” Ringenberg concludes on the latter. For Jason & the Scorchers, the halcyon days continue.
