About The Record:

Still Standing, released in 1986 by Jason & The Scorchers, is a pivotal album that blends country rock and punk, marking a shift toward a more polished, mainstream sound under producer Tom Werman. The album peaked at No. 91 on the Billboard 200 in March 1987, reflecting the band's attempt to broaden their audience while maintaining their cowpunk roots. Its standout track, a high-energy cover of The Rolling Stones' 19th Nervous Breakdown, was the album's first single and is historically significant for showcasing the band’s ability to reinterpret rock classics with their unique style. Other notable tracks like Golden Ball and Chain and Crashin' Down capture the band’s fiery energy but didn’t achieve the same commercial impact. Despite mixed critical reception, with some praising its songwriting and others noting it fell short of their live intensity, the album remains a key moment in the cowpunk genre's development.
