Information/Write-up
Here's the latest slithering slice from those voodoo boys, Tony and Gerard, and it's a real smoker. Packed with the wildness and weirdness that have made them internationally-feared acolytes of cool, BIG PILE OF MUD is truly the farthest out that sludge has ever gone
On this record, the Voodoo guys steal shards of hep from the Shadows of Knight, Duane Eddy, Link Wray, Lowell Fulson, Wire, Jonathan Richman, the Kinks, Benny Goodman, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Sleepy LaBeef, Slim Harpo, John Lee Hooker, Larry Williams, T Rex, Chuck Berry, the Rivingtons, James Brown, the Coasters, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Hayden Thompson, Little Willie John, Iggy Pop, the Cramps, Buddy Holly, and some they forgot.
