A loud, shrieking and howling, heavy and blistering live performance from JSBX’s Freedom Tower tour, which we saw in Madison in June at the High Noon Saloon. “2015 and the Blues is still #1!” Spencer proclaims at the intro to “Bellevue Baby” and he is so spot on. The Record Store Day release is filled with a mix of ass-shaking tracks from Freedom Tower like “Joe Buck” and “Betty” as well as older songs like “Flavor” and “Dang” (both from the most excellent Orange) and “She’s on It-Jack the Ripper” (the Beastie Boys-Link Wray mash-up JSBX put out for RSD ‘14).

Run-off groove: Side A – “Elvis Presley Gold-Toned Microphone” Side B – “Free James Brown”
