Thunder and Fire is an album by the American band Jason & the Scorchers, released in 1989.[2][3] The band promoted the album by playing shows with Webb Wilder and Bob Dylan, among others.[4][5] "When the Angels Cry" and "Find You" were released as singles.[6]
The album was a commercial disappointment, failing to chart.[7][8] The band broke up after the album's release, but reformed in the mid-1990s.[9]
The album was produced by Barry Beckett.[10][11] The band placed stage lights in the studio, to reproduce the atmosphere of a live show.[12] The Scorchers spent two years making the album, recording it with new members Andy York and Ken Fox; the band had around 45 songs from which to choose.[13][14][8] "My Kingdom for a Car" is a cover of the Phil Ochs song.[3] "Bible and a Gun" was cowritten by Steve Earle.[15] Don Schlitz cowrote "When the Angels Cry".[16]
