Jon Spencer & the Hitmakers, Hey Jellie

Nope, no Blues Explosion here! New York’s King of Garage Blues has gone solo, guitarist Judah Bauer replaced by Sam Coomes on old-school analog synths and M. Sord subbing for drummer Russell Simins. Debut LP for In the Red Records, Spencer Sings the Hits, showcases the same angry, raunchy, rump-shaking party music as always, albeit awash in lo-fi electronics. – Tim Stegall
