20 Miles was the blues-based side project of
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion guitarist
Judah Bauer and his drummer brother
Donovan. Although the
Bauer brothers had performed together since high school,
20 Miles did not officially come together until
Judah finished work on
the Blues Explosion LP
Now I Got Worry; after entering the recording studio, the siblings recorded their raw 1996 debut, Ragged Backyard Classics -- a triple 7" package issued on the In the Red label -- in less than four hours. A self-titled effort followed in 1997, and a year later
20 Miles returned with
I'm a Lucky Guy. ~ Jason Ankeny
