]]> Jon Spencer Blues Explosion “Rocketship” b/w “Chocolate Joe” 1997. Au Go Go Records. “Rocketship” appears on the 1996 release Now I Got Worry and “Chocolate Joe” was included on the 2010 expanded reissue of Now I Got Worry. The name Chocolate Joe refers to Bob Log III, a punk slide blues guitarist who toured with JSBX as part of the duo Doo Rag. It’s slinky and grooving with Spencer wailing: the classic JSBX sound. I have to be honest, “Rocketship” is probably one of my least favorite JSBX tracks from Now I Got Worry, an otherwise super-solid record (i.e. “Wail,” “R.L. Got Soul,” etc.), and I think it’s the lyrics that bug me and also a feeling that the song just never fully develops.

Runout groove side A: GOODBYE LITTLE HONDA   Runout Groove side B: CONGRATULATIONS WALTER!
