The 19986 Listening Post - Jason and the Scorchers - Still Standing

Jason and the Scorchers - Still Standing


#467/2117
1986 Housekeeping
Jason and the Scorchers
Still Standing
Genre: Country Rock
3.25 out of 5


Requisite 80s Cover: “19th Nervous Breakdown”. Nowhere near as good or immediate as the original. In fact, it sounds like a beeriest band’s version. And it makes me want to hear the Stones’ version right now.


This is not gonna come out right but…as soon as I heard the first track I thought…”Is this a Weird Al genre parody?” I mean, it sounds like Al overdoing a cliche southern accent so…
No?
Ok. 
Moving on.
This is a much slicker offering than that first, amazing record. But, that don’t make it good. It’s a placeholder at best.
