“The Blues Explosion have made a bit of a habit out of inviting unlikely characters on stage during “Chicken Dog.” In Los Angeles on November 22, the band teamed with Weird Al Yankovic (who directed their next video, for the song “Wail”) and bashed out the song.” – MTV.com (December 15, 1996)

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion appeared with R.L. Burnside on A Ass Pocket of Whiskey and Mr Wizard albums.

Footage of them performing Boogie Chillun together appeared on the Live Promo Video and they appear on stage together in the Fat Possum documentary You See Me Laughin’: The Last of The Hill County Bluesmen.

The track R.L. Got Soul from Now I Got Worry is a reference to R.L. Burnside and after his death on 1 September 2005 the Judah Bauer website featured a free downloadable mp3 of Goin’ Down South as a tribute to him.
