AllMusic[2]

Big Pile of Mud is an LP release by the Canadian garage-rock band Deja Voodoo.[3][4] It would be their last release recorded in a studio.

There is a Greek version released by Didi Records that includes two bonus tracks: "Waiting for the Man," a Velvet Underground cover, and "I Wish That Cat Would Shut Up."

Production

[edit]

The band recorded the album for less than $150.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

AllMusic wrote that "there is more of a relaxed feel on this album ... On the opening track, Gerard Van Herk sings about his girlfriend in true sludgebilly style, and elsewhere cuts down people who wear brown leather jackets or charge exorbitant prices for import albums."[2]
