Jesus Ranch is the title of a song by the rock band, Tenacious D. Originally featured in the 1997 film, Bongwater, the song was later featured in one of the band's HBO episodes; Road Gig. In the short, Jack Black and Kyle Gass run out of wiper fluid on a road trip and, in their quest for a refill, stumble upon a religious cult compound called "Jesus Ranch", after which the song is named.
[edit] Details
Like a number of the songs from the HBO shorts, "Jesus Ranch" was re-recorded for their 2001 self-titled album, but was unable to make the final cut of it. Whether or not it will be on a future album remains uncertain - the song is available online, and the band has - though never actually condemning or commending the release - confirmed it to be their song. Tenacious D accounted for the fact the studio version of Jesus Ranch was never released because, in their words, "it just didn't cut the mustard".[1]
An acoustic version of the track featured on releases of Wonderboy and Tribute singles, as well as a studio version on the D Fun Pak.
[edit] Cover versions
"Jesus Ranch" has been covered by the Dust Bowl Cavaliers, on their 2006 album Bluegrass Wrecks the Music of Tenacious D: This Is Just a Tribute.
