Jon Spencer Blues Explosion "Now I got Worry"
Spencer had started off with noise rock band Shithaus and
garagey/noise/punk rock band Pussy Galore. He stated that those bands
were about him kicking against rock music but that JSBE was was him accepting and even celebrating the sound a bit more.
It's been mentioned by critics that the bands sound was not very
'bluesy'... I guess you could argue that maybe their sound is not
supposed to be blues but rather the aftermath of the titular
explosion. "Now I got Worry" was recorded while the band were also
working on the "A Ass Pocket of Whiskey" album with bluesmen R L
Burnside and Kenny Brown and it seems to have injected a little more
blues to 'Now I got Worry' which features another blues singer Rufus
Thomas on song "Chicken Dog".
There is more of a blues vibe but it's still buried amongst a raft of
other noisy, off-the-wall sytles. "F*ck Sh*t up" has a noisy,
beat-backed bit of drawling street poetry with miscellaneous noises
jumping out at you. "2kindsa Love" has almost a funk-metal Janes
Addictiony vibe to it. "Get Over Here"
has an aggressive alt-rock groove similar to Mark of Cain or Helmet.
"Cool Vee" has a laidback, cruisy vibe with vocal samples being
scratched over the top of it.
