Music reviews of Orange
Music Review: It's possible to go overboard
Rating: 4 Stars
It seems like people often completely overrate JSBX or hate them based on a preceived lack of authenticity, and then there's fans who don't accept anything after Extra Width. Well, Orange is a great party album, and sometimes the blues is about partying (and anyone who thinks the blues can only be downtrodden stuff by downtrodden black dudes is perpetrating racism). Bellbottoms, Full Grown, Sweat, Flavor, Dissect, Blues X Man - if you're not in the mood to like this you won't. The rest of us will just rub it in your face that we know how to have fun.
Description of Orange
'Orange', the Blues Explosion open with a nod to a plush, Stax feel for the blues with the aid of a full string section. Other unusual touches include the use of scratching and a guest appearance by media sensation and blues aficionado Beck. Despite these unconventional elements, the disc is solidly grounded in the blues and can definitely be seen as the Blues Explosion's statement about the blues today. Digipak. 1994 Matador Records.The strange paradox that makes the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion so hard to figure--and them all the better for it--is that despite a brazen desire to flaunt their complete lack of authenticity with an absurdly over-the-top howlin' bluesman schtick, their music really does kick tons more ass than just about anything else being passed off as contemporary blues these days. Orange augments the usual mess of raw blues and primal rock with Philly soul strings, theremin, and Beck's guest rapping. The added flavors don't make these songs better, but then, the band's raw material--bashed out on two guitars and drums--rocks quite well on its own, thank you. --Roni Sarig
