JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION - Extra Width LP

Highly recommended.

This record will leave a puddle of sweat on your turntable.

I recall thinking - way on back in the nineties - that The Blues Explosion were the greatest young rock ‘n’ roll band the world over. Returning to an album you once revered after decades apart can gift great disappointment but tossing a copy of Extra Width on the ol’ hi-fi has only reawakened my first impression. This record is a friggin’ mojo workout.

Spencer had drifted deep inside the warmth of southern soul at this point. His recipe of James Brown, Elvis, and his own twisted musical conducting’s made for a unique and bizarre rock ‘n’ roll experience.

I don’t believe I have adequate verbal descriptors to give Extra Width justice. It has to be heard. Plus my descriptors might be off.

Extra Width has not been sighted for years and we also have Orange, Meat + Bone and Now I Got Worry in stock!
