Still Standing is a 1986 album from Jason & the Scorchers. It peaked at No. 91 on the Billboard 200 in March 1987.[1]
Produced by Tom Werman, the album includes the band's cover version of the Rolling Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown", which was the first single to be taken from the album.[2][3]
AllMusic gave the album three stars, with reviewer Mark Deming viewing it as "an attempt to give Jason & the Scorchers a bit of polish in hopes of attracting a wider audience",[4] while Musician magazine saw it as the band "sharpening their attack".[5] Audio magazine, gave the album a B rating for sound, and B+ for performance.[6] No Depression, reviewing the CD reissue, saw it as "a move toward the mainstream", and wrote that it "paled in comparison to the band's live persona".[7] Walter Tunis, writing for PopMatters, saw it as "a slicker record, perhaps, but one that raised the caliber of the band’s songwriting".[8]
