Country and Americana legend Jason Ringenberg joins Bob in session, playing songs from his new album "Stand Tall!" and reflecting on his career, from punk to children's music!

Jason Ringenberg was born and raised on an Illinois hog farm that bordered the Rock Island Line Railroad. When he left for Nashville on 4th July 4, 1981, to pursue his dream of 鈥渕aking a band that could kick American roots music into the modern age!鈥� little did he know just how far that kick would go. He immediately formed Jason & The Scorchers and never looked back. Throughout the '80s and '90s they tore up venues across the planet and became known as one of the most exciting live bands of their era. On classic LPs like Fervor and Lost and Found they 鈥渟inglehandedly rewrote the history of rock 鈥榥 roll in the South鈥� (Rolling Stone.) Their instinctive ability to combine traditional country music with high-energy punk rock has not been surpassed to this day. In 2008 they were awarded the Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award for Performance.

Never one to rest on his laurels, in 1999 the 鈥淕odfather of Americana鈥� (Mojo) went solo. To date, he has released five Jason Ringenberg solo albums, with everyone from the 成人快手 to USA Today lauding his songwriting. His high octane one-man show prompted The Times (UK) to call him 鈥渙ne of the most exciting performers of his generation.鈥� In 2002 he created a children鈥檚 music character called Farmer Jason, winning numerous awards including an Emmy for his PBS video program It's A Farmer Jason. Often, this relentless barnstormer will perform a Farmer Jason kids show in the daytime and a Jason Ringenberg concert at night in the same city.
