Jon Spencer Blues Explosion: Extra Wide (Matador)
Ian Christe, Warp, November 1993
JON SPENCER'S grunge-blues attitude army swims in the stewed funky swankness of young Elvis, classic Cramps, new Beastie Boys, and any band with a regular gig in a bar with wood paneling. This sharp young man keeps his right and left hands constantly busy with new diversionary tricks, easily overshooting 1993's loopy trashcan punk noise entertainer-of-the-year award in both the sin and brilliance categories.
