Mojo Nixon Gives Catalog Away for Free!

Take THAT, Radiohead! From his ‘80s debut LP with Skid Roper to more recent solo and Toadliquors offerings, and maybe even a Led Zep or Kenny Rogers tune to boot, it's all free-free-free.

Gadzooks! It's a freebie frenzy for twisted raconteur and BLURT hero Mojo Nixon, who is offering up nearly all of his back catalog in digital format - totally free. No charge. Nada. Zip. No strings attached. Not even a pay-what-you-want, tip-jar strategy.

It's all part of a timely, consumer-friendly promotion for his new album Whiskey Rebellion that was just released on Oct. 6, and it'll be running for roughly another two weeks.

That's right, root hogs, operators are standing by to take your call, er, mouse click, over at Mojo's Amazon.com store. That's where you can select from 147 DRM-free MP3s, or, if you are inclined to nab entire albums, you can download any or all of the titles listed below; there's also a handful of singles including covers of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" and the First Edition's "Just Dropped In to See What Condition My Condition Was In."

If you're not up on your Mojo Nixon, check out his Wikipedia page, pronto, pal, or head over to his official website. If you're on Sirius/XM radio, you've probably heard his daily weekday (4-8 pm) show on the Outlaw Country channel, or his weekly political talk show, "Lyin' Cocksuckers," that airs Thursdays at 8pm. Now sing along with us: " I saw Jesus At McDonald's at midnight/ Don Henley must die!"
