BUILDING AN EMPIRE OF MUSICAL SPIRIT
ONE REVIEW AT A TIME

After a dozen albums with his trail-blazing band the Scorchers and five solo outings, Ringenberg’s lost none of his anti-establishment spirit or his clear focus. The spirit of Woody Guthrie rocks on in daddy Ringenberg’s boy.
-Johnny Black, MOJO

He still has that unbelievable energy level…high kicking around the stage like the 20 something country punk he once was, well still is really… as a protest singer there are few better and none more entertaining.
-Jeremy Searle, AMERICANA UK

Ringenberg remains fiercely proud of America’s rebels…Though his Opry inspired outfits may make it hard to take him seriously, EMPIRE BUILDERS is no joke.
- Denise Sullivan, ROLLING STONE.COM

EMPIRE BUILDERS [4 Stars]: The trailblazing cow punk who led Jason and the Scorchers may have matured musically but this heartfelt exploration of American immigrant settlers and community packs a real emotional and political punch. Simply, but effectively, he articulates despair at America’s place in the world, often based on his own experiences, and counter-balances the serious message with a bunch of tunes like Rebel Flag In Germany, New Fashioned Imperialist and Tuskegee Pride.”
-Neil McKay, THE BELFAST TIMES

EMPIRE BUILDERS sets Jason Ringenberg’s stall as social commentator on his fourth solo outing; a fine collection of country rock. It’s a bold step…which questions America’s role in the world.”
-Jerry Ewing, Classic Country [4 Stars]

EMPIRE BUILDERS is arguably the most powerful, personal, and important album of Jason Ringenberg’s 24 year career.
-L Kent Wolgamott, THE LINCOLN JOURNAL STAR

ALL OVER CREATION marks a spectacular return to form by one of the most overlooked country rock pioneers still in the business… Ringenberg has gained a reputation as one of the most dynamic live performers of his generation…
-David Sinclair, THE TIMES (England)

THE BEST SOLO SHOW OF 2001: Jason Ringenberg at Shubas. The frontman for Jason and the Scorchers, Ringenberg stepped into the solo acoustic spotlight in a show that proved he could still rock without the heat of the band.
-THE CHICAGO SUN TIMES

Jason Ringenberg is Nashville's most electrifying performer, but his most enduring attribute-songwriting-is also his most criminally overlooked… Ringenberg, whose stage outfit hangs in display at The Country Music Hall of Fame, is among that crowd's less celebrated, but undeniably most innovative, members.
-Peter Cooper, THE TENNESEAN

Though Gram Parson's and Uncle Tupelo have elicited more reverence as country-rock avatars, Jason's musical imprint remains more vital than either's, his influence as wide as this range of collaborators on ALL OVER CREATION attests.
- Don McLeese, NO DEPRESSION

Ringenberg was always the real deal, raised on a prairie hog farm within spitting distance of the Illinois Rock Island Line…ALL OVER CREATION rattles all the right cages.
-Ron Hughes, UNCUT (England)

If you buy just one album this year, ALL OVER CREATION would not be a bad choice.
-WESTZEIT [Germany]

No act has ever blended punk rock intensity with a country swagger better than Jason Ringenberg and his bandmates the Scorchers… the band and Ringenberg are the closest things Nashville has to rock'n'roll legends.
-Robert K. Oermann, MUSIC ROW MAGAZINE

ESSENTIAL AMERICANA Pick of the Month: ALL OVER CREATION June 2002
-MOJO (England)

Jason Ringenberg's voice sounds like the last trembling yelp of conscience before an Illinois country boy loses himself forever in the throes of hillbilly hedonism.
-Brian Mansfield, USA TODAY

ALL OVER CREATION A superb, tasteful album right through! ****
-Bjorn Bostrand Lanstidningen Ostersund [Sweden]
