“And, since my ears are burning, baby (well, only one ear, since I’m deaf in the other), I might as well let it blurt. I heard that Jon Spencer surprised the crowd at Maxwell’s on Thursday when he jumped onstage with Nancy Sinatra for a few songs in her father’s hometown of Hoboken—joining her in renditions of “Jackson” and the classic “These Boots Were Made for Walking.”” – villagevoice.com

“At Nancy Sinatra’s show at Maxwell’s on Thursday, Jon Spencer joined in to kick some guitar into “Boots” and play a duet of “Jackson,” the Johnny Cash/June Carter classic, which Nancy and Lee Hazlewood also had a hit with. Eerily, it was right after the show that the heartbreaking news of June’s death came. – Mary Huhn (nypost.com)”

“Une violence dont il faut louer le son, de guitare, celui toujours assez imparable de monsieur Spencer. D’une intensité, d’une densité maximale. Tout au-dessus de 100 DB et en-avant !”
