Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – “We Cherish The Work A Lot More”

http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2013/06/jon-spencer-blues-explosion-interview-tour-2013.phpPhoenixNewTimes.com have just posted a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion interview and The Salt Lake Tribune feature two short mentions in their Urban Lounge show preview (14 June 2013) and spotlight sections.

“We felt awfully good playing again after the break and that good feeling definitely stuck with us and pervaded the recording sessions. It was a pretty easy record to make. Nothing like any bad vibes or in-fighting or anything like that. I definitely think that since we’ve come back from the hiatus, my sense is that we cherish the work that we do a lot more.” – phoenixnewtimes.com

“…Jon Spencer first visited Utah as a child when his family moved from the East Coast to Palo Alto, Calif. so that his father could take a sabbatical and teach a course at Stanford University.

On the way, the family car got into a wreck as they were just about to go through Salt Lake City, so the family all went skiing for a week to get over the traumatic experience.” – sltrib.com
