MOJO NIXON& THE TOADLIQUORS
HORNY HOLIDAYS (1991)
320 KBPS
Irreverent and raunchy, would you expect anything less from Mojo Nixon? Not for the kiddies or Tipper Gore's of the world, this CD is hilarious if you listen to it in the spirit in which it was recorded (a few trips to the eggnog-spiked punch bowl might help). "Mr. Grinch" is a perfect vehicle for Nixon's from-the-gutter vocals, while his original "It's Christmas Time" recalls the Memphis soul-struttin' of Rufus Thomas crossed with Clarence Carter's down 'n' dirty style. "We Three Kings" is turned into a tale of debauchery as Nixon growls "We were drunk for three days straight, feeling like we were Tom Waits." Play this not to be sanctified, but to be amused.
