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.
