A Blazing Grace is an album by the American band Jason & the Scorchers, released in 1995 on Mammoth Records.[1][2] The initial album title was Men and Women, War and Peace.[3] The band supported the album with a North American tour.[4] The first single, "Take Me Home, Country Roads", was a modest radio hit.[5]
The album marked a reunion of the band's original lineup; the band, in part, recorded the album as an excuse to play live and tour.[6][7] Produced by the band, A Blazing Grace was recorded at Castle Recording Studio, in Nashville.[8][9] All of the band members were struggling with personal issues, and regarded the offer of free studio time as a blessing.[10]
"Why Baby Why" is a cover of the George Jones song; "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is a cover of the John Denver song.[11][12] The band initially intended the cover songs to be b-sides.[13] "Somewhere Within" was Jason Ringenberg's favorite composition.[14]
