Five Dollar Bob's Mock Cooter Stew
Most of us likely missed MUDHONEYâs âFive Dollar Bobâs Mock Cooter Stewâ when it first cratered here on Earth in late 1993, but we can ALL learn from our previous mistakes RIGHT NOW!!! Out of print in any physical format for 30 years (!), here is their Reprise mini-LP for all to devour in real-time and roll in its naked glory. Initially recorded by the band as an offering for their fans to devour while they were between full-length albums, the majority of âFive Dollarâ was recorded in one short, inspired burst on August 1, 1993, between the hours of 9:30 and 10:15 PM (with friend and Fastback Kur(d)t Bloch egging them on from the production booth). They smashed this out in just 45 minutes.
It might be the band at their most âStooge-esqueâ since there is no flowery imagery; nothing to misinterpret; just in-your-face blunt despair (in that department, Black Flagâs âDamagedâ LP comes to mind, especially in Mudhoneyâs gleefully punishing highlight: âNo Song IIIâ). Within two seconds of any of these songs hitting your mind (maybe even within one second), you knew it could only be Mudhoney. You can instantly recognize it, because they truly own it/you/the universe.
