Jars of Clay discography
The discography of Jars of Clay, a multi-stylistic American rock and Christian band from Nashville, Tennessee consists of 12 studio albums, 44 singles, 16 extended plays (one a collaboration), two major compilation albums, a part-studio, part-live double-album, a live DVD, and several releases of other types. While Jars of Clay has never released a major, full-length live album strictly speaking, the second disc of the part-studio, part-live double-album, Furthermore, fulfills the same expectation. In addition, the band has released Live Monsters, a live EP of selections from the Good Monsters tour, and five more EPs of live performances in smaller, more intimate settings, (Live at Gray Matters Vols. 1 – 4, and Under the Weather with Jars of Clay: Live from Sellersville, PA). In the band's early career, two albums dedicated solely to live material were given limited releases. Stringtown, the most notable, features selections from different tours following the release of Much Afraid.
