Personnel includes: Jon Spencer (vocals, guitar, piano, Theremin); Judah Bauer (guitar, background vocals); Dr. John (guitar); Steve Jordan (piano, organ, bass, drums, percussion, background vocals); Bernie Worrell (organ, Moog synthesizer); Russell Simins (drums, percussion).
Coming almost four years after the previous Jon Spencer Blues Explosion release, PLASTIC FANG sounds like a retrenchment. Unlike the hip-hop and electronica-influenced ACME, PLASTIC FANG is a return to the Howlin' Wolf-via-early-Rolling- Stones blues-rock-noise of the early Blues Explosion. What's different this time out is that Spencer and crew enlisted an outside producer: Steve Jordan, former drummer for David Letterman's house band, New York session musician, and a key member of Keith Richards' '80s solo project the X-Pensive Winos.
A Jon Spencer record will never sound slick, but Jordan brings an undeniable commercial element to PLASTIC FANG. The sound is big and glossy, with Spencer's usual growling vocals and blues-skronk guitar set against an atypically upfront backing of Russell Simins' pummeling drums and the intensely rhythmic style of second guitarist Judah Bauer. Spencer's songs are more direct than before, with little of the gutter-sleaze persona he worked so hard to perfect in his early days. But for the fact that they actually rock, the opening "Sweet and Sour" and the almost ballad-like "Mean Heart" wouldn't sound out of place on a '90s-era Rolling Stones album. The peculiar New Orleans-style side trip of "Hold On" finds Spencer collaborating with Dr. John and Bernie Worrell, further proof that PLASTIC FANG is Jon Spencer's bid for the mainstream, and not a bad one at that.

'Plastic Fang' is the seventh studio album from Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and is the follow up to their 1998 album 'Acme'. Catchy riffs and hooks inspired by rock 'n' roll legends Jerry Lee Lewis, Howlin' Wolf and Elvis, with elements of soul, funk, gospel and the blues.|
Rovi

ジョン・スペンサー、ジュダ・バウアー、ラッセル・シミンズ──あまりにも役者が揃いすぎている。いったい何なんだ、この鉄壁のトリオは。前作『Acme』から3年、スペンサー・ディッキンソンや個々のソロ活動を経て、ふたたび3人が音を出した新作。そこにはノイズ山のジャンク大将の面影もないし、実験的な手法もない。超音速の快感、土足上等、失禁歓迎、毛穴全開、悶絶必至、ロックとロールの欲望に任せた疾走感のみが存在する。仕切屋で有名なジョンだが、今回はプロデューサーにキース・リチャーズとの仕事でも知られるスティーヴ・ジョーダンを迎え、よりロックンロール色が濃密に。3人はひたすら男汁をまき散らし、ノー・ギミックのロックンロールを叩き付けるだけ。贅肉のカケラもないサウンドはもやは骨と皮のみだが、それが最強のグルーヴを作る。問答無用、理屈不要、さあ、腰で聴くんだ!
