Two parts Corin Tucker to one part Big Mama Thornton, Arkansas' Beth Ditto is a bow-down awesome singer, and her powerhouse trio have been making groove-wise punk blues for a decade. But here, with help from producer Rick Rubin, they remake themselves as a badass dance machine. Guitarist Brace Paine slashes out grooves, drummer Hannah Billie keeps it live, and Ditto skids between fuck-me hollers and don't-fuck-with-me roars, quoting Aretha's "Chain of Fools" on the queer anthem "Men in Love" and riding B-52s-style riffs on "Spare Me From the Mold." Punk purists may hate it. But dance-floor revelers will drown them out.
