Mojo Rules!

EMUSIC-007F40BB

Classic Mojo! My wife wonders where he gets his inspiration for his tunes - me? I just enjoy listening to them! Great for the mp3 and any stereo machine!!

Mojo mania starts here!

Dvoodoo

This is the breakthrough Mojo album with the Mojo material you need...the essentials. Start with the universally agreed upon "I Hate Banks", the perverse fans may want "Stuffin Martha's Muffin", parents amongst us will relate to "I'm Living With A 3 Ft antichrist", while the classic rockers can have the hillbilly heaven revisionist renditions of "In A Gadda Da Vida" & "Be My Lover"... definitely something for everyone...

They Say All Music Guide

Still quite early in the Mojo Nixon canon, this album presents a well-produced session featuring his duo with percussionist Skid Roper, augmented slightly by guest vocalists and a drunken-sounding choir. Musically, Nixon always seems to be taking baby steps, but his creations here indeed become more elaborate and silly, the creative behavior more than justified by a Nixon lyric such as “I’m Living With a Three Foot Anti-Christ.” While the man’s debut effort, simply entitled Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper, had established that the San Diego-based rocker was something of a weirdo, some of the songs on Frenzy make it plain that it is a full-out weirdo the listener is dealing with. Sometimes his ammunition is crude, attacking the over-hyped MTV with sexual innuendo or the rambling incoherency that befalls this particular performer when he simply runs out of ideas. What is delightful about this record is the feisty social commentary, delivered with lots of heart in a manner that recalls great performers of the past such as Harry McClintock of “I’m a Bum Fame.” There is no doubt that McClintock himself would have highly approved of tracks such as “I Hate Banks” and “Ain’t Got No Boss.” The cover version of “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” is better, and shorter, than the original. – Eugene Chadbourne
