RIP Mojo Nixon
RIP to the bold & unabashed country outlaw, Mojo Nixon (August 2nd, 1957 – February 7th, 2024). Our deep condolences go out to his family.
In the history of popular music, few songwriters have shown a greater talent for naming their songs than Mojo Nixon. “Jesus At McDonald’s,” Stuffin’ Martha’s Muffin,” “Elvis Is Everywhere,” “Don Henley Must Die” and “What’s Up Judge Judy’s Ass” are just a few that come to mind. But Mojo Nixon is about much more than a snappy song title. He is a singular talent who sprang out of the college rock explosion of the ’80s, kicked it in the head, stomped on it, and went on to pave his own path to glory.
Manifesto Records is proudly releasing The Mojo Manifesto: The Original Album Collection, a 10-CD Box Set that chronicles the recording career of one of the world’s most unique talents, that began with his 1985 debut, Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper.
