Five Horse Johnson - 2006 - The Mystery Spot [320]

With The Mystery Spot and the help of their good friend and newest collaborator Jean Paul Gaster on drums, Five Horse Johnson has created their strongest album to date. The power is there in spades, and the influences are still clear. The Mystery Spot is a polished affair, but it's like the polish on a muscle car: it doesn't slow the vehicle down one bit. Collaborators include Roadsaw/Antler's Craig Riggs and Big Chief's Phil D & Mark Dancey, all doing what they do best. The Mystery Spot is a powerhouse of a record, a focused affair that makes the listener want to reach for the bottle, the smokes and the volume knob all at the same time.
