Even amongst albums that I own by the likes of Tool, RATM, Radiohead and other inspired bands this would go in my top 5 albums of all time! If I lost my copy or something terrible like that, I would be perfectly happy paying £100 for this piece of art. They have a sound like no other band and rock very hard. Most songs are very funky and the amazing riffs along with Jon Spencer's bizarre singing never fail to make me high. This will add variety and colour to your CD collection and make you look at music in a different way. This album get's me excited as though I was listening to something heavy like System of a Down or Fantomas, yet it is not particularly heavy- this is simply down to the amazing band that are Judah Bauer, Russel Simins and Jon Spencer.

The man sounds like a blues man who shines funk and is trappedin the ways of Elvis. There are many collaborations on this album influences come from 'R.L Burnside, Beastie Boys and Rufus Thomas' to name some of them.
A lot of the songs mix psychedelic moods with a funky bass line and an Elvis style vocal. Songs that stand out are 'Chicken Dog, R.L. Got Soul and Rocket Ship' these are some interesting combinations that Jon Spencer has put together and you will either love it or hate it.

The Blues Explosion are one of my favourite bands and in my opinion almost offensively underrated, this album manages to encompass their bad-assery from all of their work whilst making collaborations with delta blues ledgend R. L. Burnside, displaying their versitillaty as a band and showing their appreciation and respect for the music in which they root from. Brilliantly produced and crafted with such flare and innovation thats peppered with attitude and rawness that I think every human misses from music today. This is a brilliant album.
