Mr. Blues Explosion is still lighting the torches and ringing the bells, singing and preaching from the rooftops, live on the world stage, on the airwaves, via satellite, and right here, right now, on a brand new record. 'Songs Of Personal Loss And Protest' was recorded with Jon's unstoppable touring band, and if you've been lucky enough to see them in the past few years destroying audiences from Akron to Osaka, from San Joes to Santiago then you know that Jon is still fronting the worlds greatest rock'n'roll live show: rama-la soul-shaking, set-for-stun, sweat-soaked, and ultimately, beautifully, uplifting.
Picking up where 2024s mini LP 'Sick Of Being Sick!' left off, Jon tears it up with Spider Bowman on drums and Kendall Wind on bass (also famously the rhythm section of Woodstock's punk powerhouse The Bobby Lees). They deliver twelve brand-new all-original songs of hyper-driven soul and powerhouse groove, beats hard like diamonds and slick like ice, fuzz bass in your face, and an avalanche of uncontrollable urges, pushing Jons latest outburst of garage punk explosionism hollering, drooling, sexified crooning, and vociferously lamenting these difficult times to new levels of rocknroll expressionism.
