Whereabouts Unknown is an album by the American musician Mojo Nixon, released in 1995.[2][3] Nixon supported the album by touring with his band, the Toadliquors.[4]
"Bring Me the Head of David Geffen", a song that appeared on advance copies of the album, was pulled right before the official release.[9][10] The song later appeared on 1997's Gadzooks!!! The Homemade Bootleg.[11]
Trouser Press wrote that "the playing is crisp and perfunctory country-rock; instrumental accuracy is thoroughly wasted on (if not toxic to) a vocalist this instinctual... Fortunately, Mojo is in credibly foul form, and has enough solidly entertaining originals to make his own party happen."[1]The Philadelphia Inquirer called the album "a roots-rock celebration of moral lassitude and the product of a sick mind."[14]The Washington Times considered it "a blues-country mix that sounds like Muddy Waters and Ernest Tubb together on a bad hair day."[15]
The Boston Globe deemed Nixon "a human gutterball, a strummin', cussin', frat-party for punks."[16]The San Diego Union-Tribune noted that "Nixon has assembled a ruckus of a band that can swing and swagger along to his fabulously gruff, shag carpet of a voice."[7] The Richmond Times-Dispatch labeled Nixon "the record industry's most beloved degenerate," writing that the album is "as politically incorrect as ever."[17] The Fort Worth Star-Telegram praised the "crack garage/roots band chugging behind [Nixon]."[12]
AllMusic wrote: "Nixon's humor remained as sophomoric as it was politically incorrect. As usual, he was pretty funny the first time around, though."[18]
