Fervor EP

Fervor EP is a 1983 EP by Jason & the Scorchers. Originally released by Praxis, it was expanded and rereleased by EMI the following year.

Production
Ringenberg convinced the band to record Bob Dylan's "Absolutely Sweet Marie" after claiming that he was the author of the song.

Critical reception
The Guardian wrote that the EP was "cleaner and better" than the debut, calling the Dylan cover "a staggeringly exciting version."
