Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper - Bo-Day-Shus (1987)
Mojo Nixon is a strange one, but he pretty much embodies everything right with weird psychobilly rock. With some help from Skid Roper, he wrote one of the ultimate tributes to Elvis, Elvis Is Everywhere. Although it's perfect Mojo satire, there is a bit of truth that Elvis has left his legacy everywhere, even cheeseburgers. The rest of the album is full of ditties about the finer things in life, like drinking, BBQ, freedom & digging up Howling Wolf. There are flavors of blues, Americana, country & even polka all over this record. Honestly though, nothing lives up to Mojo singing about the King. What's the deal with the Bermuda Triangle? "Elvis needs boats."
That's "Elvis EATS boats".
