“There’s so much energy coming off of him. R.L., Solomon Burke, who I also got to play with, so much charisma and energy on some level, you just respond to it, they make you a better player.”
A new interview with Judah Bauer about the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion has just been posted on democratandchronicle.com.
“The Blues Explosion has always struck me as a reminder for those who lose sight of what’s important in rock ‘n’ roll. Why do people keep forgetting?
I think anyone going to a concert, going out to see a band and getting sweaty, that person doesn’t need to be reminded. There’s always this stuff in the media about the death of the guitar and the demise of live music and bands. I don’t think that’s ever going to go away. It’s part of who we are as animals. It fulfills a very strong need. It’s this very weird, spiritual, communal happening, going to a show.”

“I have to caution you,” Jon Spencer advises, patiently addressing one of many questions he has undoubtedly heard too often. “I’ve always said that we play rock ‘n’ roll. The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion is just the name.”

“We took some energy, wisdom, and power from all of that and it’s been with us since we started playing again and it was with us in the studio. It wasn’t our first record but in some ways it was. We did exactly what we wanted to do and took our time, as we’ve always done and, in that sense, we’re a very punk, independent band that remains true to ourselves.”
