Details Release Date: Apr 09, 2002; Lead Performance: Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

With vet producer Steve Jordan (B.B. King) at the helm, Spencer's latest is more blues and less explosion. Traditional progressions temper the punkish wails and feedback that dominated previous albums, revealing a tight garage-rock band to be reckoned with. Make no mistake, though: Fang still has some bite.
