WHO: Jon Spencer
WHAT: Sick of Being Sick
WHY: Maybe Spencer’s last two solo albums have lacked a little oomph, but Sick of Being Sick hopefully is a course correction. Maybe that’s a bit extreme, but in just 8 songs, this EP delivers the raw energy, weirdness, and catchy hooks that made us all fall in love with Spencer in the first place. It’s a shame it’s so short, because even with another 10 minutes of filler, Sick of Being Sick would have been a top 10 album of the year. This dog is still full of tricks. The blues is back and STILL number one!
