“In Jon Spencer’s debut solo album, Spencer Sings The Hits, fans will find a genuine and true revelation about both the singer and his music.
…And because it can so easily be presumed that Spencer Sings The Hits is a pure expression of the artist’s work, listeners will finally feel as though they truly know and understand the artist after they’ve run front-to-back with the album.” – Bill Adams / Ground Control Magazine

He’s half of the much vaunted Quasi (with Sleater-Kinney’s Janet Weiss), former bassist in Elliott Smith’s old man Heatmiser the man behind great pared back garage rock album “Bugger Me” complete with “Conny” a 60s rhythm box and he’s now playing on upcoming Jon Spencer solo album on In The Red Records – “Spencer Sings The Hits”(out on 2nd November). Thanks for popping back to Velvet Sheep zine, the twisted skills and easy grace of the man that can – Sam Coomes!” – Velvet Sheep
