Acme by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Blues/Garage Rock. This album has a good mix of a few genres though can feel a little haphazard at times. The opening track feels like some old Stax/Motown number with the needle skipping (that’s a good thing) and much of the album just rocks. Jon Spencer does his best Elvis impersonation and constantly asks for us to ‘get down’. It is a great album to party to. You can dance, you can rock, you can do your best Elvis sneer. Have fun, cos that’s what Mr. Spencer wants you to do. Tracks worth hearing: Calvin; High Gear; Bernie

Grade: C
