Alright, Zoo Freaks, the Zoo Crew is spinning a gritty track tonight with Jason Charles Miller’s "Old Scarecrow" from his album In The Wasteland. This song’s a country-rock banger featuring Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke and Rickey Medlocke of Lynyrd Skynyrd, bringing a raw, soulful edge. Charlie Starr shared in a 2018 interview with The Rockpit that the song is about “staying true to who you are and what you do,” a nod to standing firm in your roots no matter the storm. Medlocke called Miller a “cutting edge rock/country/blues artist,” praising his vocal and songwriting chops, saying, “Don’t come a knockin’ if you’re not prepared for country rockin’!” The track’s outlaw vibe fits right into Miller’s style, blending Southern rock with a rebellious streak, and it’s no wonder it’s a favorite for our late-night airwaves.

Digging into the song’s story, "Old Scarecrow" paints a vivid picture of resilience, with Miller’s lyrics leaning into themes of defiance and authenticity. A review from That Music Magazine in 2018 highlighted its reflective tone, noting how Miller’s vocal range shines alongside Starr’s duet vocals. The song was recorded with Grammy-winning producer Matt Hyde, who’s worked with legends like Jonny Lang, and features drumming by Kenny Aronoff, a session icon for John Mellencamp. Miller shared on his Facebook in 2018 that the collaboration with Starr and Medlocke felt like a natural fit, born from mutual respect and a shared love for storytelling through music. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to crank the volume and hit the open road, Zoo Freaks!

Now, let’s talk about how Jason Charles Miller got his start. Hailing from Clifton, Virginia, Miller was singing opera and strumming guitar by age six, performing for audiences while most kids were still learning their ABCs. His bio on Wikipedia notes that he moved to Virginia at five, growing up with a deep love for roots rock like Neil Young and Johnny Cash. In the ‘90s, he founded the industrial rock band Godhead, which got signed to Marilyn Manson’s Posthuman Records and toured with heavyweights like Ozzy Osbourne and Rammstein. Miller’s voice and songwriting carried Godhead to sell over 250,000 albums, but his solo career took a turn toward country, Southern rock, and Americana, where he found his true calling. His versatility shines through in his voice acting, too, with roles in games like World of Warcraft and anime like Attack on Titan, proving he’s a true renaissance man.
