Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Now I Got Worry
[Matador]
Rating: 8.9
Jon Spencer, as you probably all know by now, takes classic Elvis- style
rock 'n roll and turns it on its pompadour. As usual with the Blues Explosion, the
brain doesn't quite want to accept what's
happening through the first listen of the disc, but your body loves it. Through the
art of continued listening, the element of funk seems to increase, that rockabilly
soul thing takes you over, something really fucking weird happens, and your mind lets
your body "make a commotion," as it were. In short, you become an unstoppable groove
machine. By this, my eighth listen, I'm hallucinating. Goddamn!
