Synopsis

Amazon.com
The Blues Explosion have gotten into a habit of following up their albums with B-side collections. Extra Width begat Mo' Width, Orange begat Experimental Remixes, and now Xtra Acme USA emerges as the child of Acme. This may be the boldest of the Explosion's follow-up releases, 19 tracks (plus a hidden surprise) consisting of remixes and unreleased cuts. Surprisingly, Xtra Acme USA doesn't sag under the weight of guest stars like dirty soul legend Andrew Williams or remixers like Moby and David Holmes. In fact, Williams's vocal turn on "Lap Dance" is hysterically dazzling and Holmes steals the whole show with his gospel-fueled remix of "Talk About the Blues" Unreleased tracks like "Wait a Minute" and "Leave Me Alone So I Can Rock Again" pack just as much punch--maybe even more--as the cuts that made it onto Acme. This may be the funkiest that indie rock has ever gotten. Amen! --Jason Josephes

CD Reviews

Easily one of the best albums of 1999

"Xtra Acme USA is far better than Acme itself; it's the Xplosion at it's most inventive, funky and brilliant. It's an amazing combination of all things Blues Explosion: funk, punk, blues, hip-hop beats and rock and roll."
The Blues is Number One...........................>>>PUNK

"As my new friend in Washington suggested ........ this puts ACME to shame. ACME is a nice album for the JSBX, which is not thier strength. I was relieved during my first listen to hear that these so called out-takes were some of the JSBX best work to date. I listen to ACME often - XTRA ACME has not left my CD player, except to its way to my car cd player. Nice work!! Get it Punk!!"

"Support the blues in YOUR town! This record is stoopid-fresh, magnanimous in flavor, and simply one of the best discs I own. Most definitely the juice to get loose by. God bless Jon, Judah, and Russell. Amen."
