The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion is actually more explosion than blues. That's no surprise, considering that Spencer once fronted New York punk outfit Pussy Galore and currently heads up Boss Hog, a primarily punk-rock side project. But if Spencer and his crew don't mess with technicalities, why should we? The Blues Explosion warms up to a live setting more readily than your average rock band. Combining impeccable musicianship with .raw vigor and testosteronal swagger, this trio cranks out the sound of a sextet with pomp to match.
