This seems to be a short demo that Jason did to get a set at Cornerstone Festival. He is introducing the songs in between playing them. The versions of these songs mostly sound like the ones on his other releases, except that he plays “Love Rag” on a banjo. I haven’t heard “The Ballad of Jesus Christ” on his other demos, so it is either only on here, or on a demo I haven’t heard yet. He describes it as a “bonus track” just for JPUSA, though. Jason Underground was a Christian Underground regular, with his one man protest folk sound gaining fans of those that wanted to question weird stuff in the evangelical world as well as the larger world.
