MUDBOY SLIM A Biography
MUDBOY SLIM WAS BORN in Lintpick, Louisiana, in the 1950s.* His father, Wayne, made what living he could selling military secrets to the Soviets. Since the elder Stomp held only the rank of Army cook, there wasn't much market for his information. (He would often bitterly claim, "the stupid Russians don't realize that an army travels on its stomach!") Somehow, the family eked by.
Because of Dad's line of work, the Stomps had to move frequently. In addition to living in 17 parishes in Louisiana and 9 different counties in Georgia, Alabama, and Arkansas, young Mud grew up in Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Detroit, always feeling out of place in the northern towns. The locals would encourage this feeling by beating young Mudboy senseless on a weekly basis. "Something about his face," a childhood friend explained.
Mudboy got his first guitar on his 12th birthday, though his father refused to buy any strings for it until Mud was almost fourteen. Still, this didn't prevent him from practicing six hours a day for two years. It is this early, stringless, tuneless, playing that accounts for much of Mudboy’s imaginary unique style.
Mudboy married for the first time at seventeen. Then, again, at eighteen, and finally settled down with the "love of my life" at age 20. She left him after two weeks, carrying another boy's child. That's when Mudboy ran away from home for good.
Mud spent the late '60s playing in barely-adequate bar bands ** along the east coast, usually leaving the groups, and town, just ahead of the police.
MUDBOY’S FIRST BREAK came when he was working as a janitor at the famous Record Plant recording studio. Late one night, he snuck into a studio to "fool around." While recording a series of "blistering solos," he managed to erase the master tape of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." He was fired immediately, but an assistant engineer kept a dub of the solo and six months later Mudboy was invited to play on a Spooky Tooth session.
Asked to leave the recording session because of his aggressive drunkenness, Mudboy stumbled into another failed session-man, drummer "Spud" "Skank" Noonan, who was lying in the alley behind the studio. Spud had been beaten profusely around the head by someone Mudboy claimed to be a Democrat. Further accounts stated that Spud could only say RAT over and over. It is rumored this scarred Mudboy for life. Immediately, they decided to start a band. Almost immediately, they decided to get something more to drink.
While attempting to rob the liquor store, Mudboy and "Skank" met Tommy "Low Balls" Holliman, an air bass player, who was also attempting to rob the liquor store. Thus, in the paddywagon on the way to the police station, was Blacktooth formed.
After receiving suspended sentences, the trio began practicing in earnest and in Holliman's mother's house. Realizing that their sound was "too huge" for the battered equipment they possessed, the young men fell upon a plan to finance both a really loud sound system and their first album.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Holliman hadn't been able to keep up the payments on her homeowners policy and, while she wasn't completely killed in the "accident," relations with her son were strained, to the point that the band was forced to find a new place to practice.
Deciding that the "shortest distance between two points is prob'ly illegal anyway,"Mudboy and the band broke into the Record Plant and, recording secretly between 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning over the course of a month, produced the premier Blacktooth album, Butt Nekkid.
The cover, a Polaroid self-portrait of the band "mooning" the viewer, was banned in every state in the Union, save Louisiana. "Hell," said Parish Sheriff "Buzz" Weamer, "we seen that sad sight before."
"That was like a concept album," Mudboy would later comment, though he never elaborated on what exact "concept" was intended, and critics never noticed. He did go on to say, “Seein the music was just too damne hard to play, they just borrowed other peoples music and added rat to a lot of the lyrics. What was clear was the almost-hit song, "Jackknife." An instant anthem among "Wildcat" truckers and other scofflaws, it debuted at number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 and over the course of three weeks moved all the way up to number 93 before falling into oblivion.
Blacktooth, the band, would take a while longer to reach that destination.
MUDBOY SLIM IS CURRENTLY TOURING UNDER THE AUSPICES OF A 15,000-HOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE PLEA BARGAIN.
