Editorial Reviews

Formed in 1991 and taking cues from rock, punk, R&B, garage, hardcore, and hip hop idioms, while transcending the limitations of each, the Blues Explosion created a new sound which they've spent the last 16 years honing and redefining. Their music is as deft and bold and life-affirming as the Meters, the Magic Band, or the Birthday Party. Beginning in 1992, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion earmarked songs from their recording sessions for their Jukebox Single Series on In The Red. The singles, which were based on a similar series done by rockabilly legend Charlie Feathers in the 1970s, featured some of most incendiary, hyper-charged tunes the band ever cut. From their spastic take on Chain Gang's 'Son Of Sam' to 'Ghetto Mom' (the final single from 2002) these seven-inch sides always showcased the band's full-throttle punk rock side. Now, for the first time, all five out-of-print singles have been collected in one place on Jukebox Explosion, along with eight previously unheard rarities from the band's early days that are every bit as action-packed, frantic, and furious.

Here you go! A killer comp of raw and dirty tracks from the most exciting years of this band's existance.....only thing is a few tracks don't have the "vinyl scuzz" from the overdriven mastering. But all that aside,here's a batch of stuff that'll get ya higher than Moonshine with Formaldehide as a kicker!

If you like your JSBE on the punk side, you'll love this one. Pure raw, and plenty of it.

The first sound album of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion that we observed was Orange. Our impression and image of the group was formed by Orange. We then followed the group's discography and observed later albums like Now I Got Worry and Acme. The progress was clear and we understood the group's identity. Nearly 10 years later, one of our members discovered Jukebox Explosion. This sound album rocked the very foundation that our impression of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion was built on. It is raw, experimental and certainly a blues explosion. Some of our members found it to be a blues mutation or even blues dismantling. Nevertheless, the sounds of this album must be learned and understood by all Resistors in our organization.

Michaelmatician has recommended this album to all Right Citizens and expects notes to be taken.
