WAKING PRESIDENT WAHID is Bobby & the Chuxx 17th album. It was recorded completely in Jon's Mom's Basement recording facility, Leawood, Kansas, in four separate chunks: the Monkeys & Panties Sessions (Summer 2000), the Downhome Christmas Sessions (Winter 2000), the Gift Session (February 22, 2001) and the Alphabet Sessions (Spring 2001). The long-awaited disc was finally released in the the early months of 2002. The album also includes the long-orphaned track "I Am the Brain in the Jar," which was the first song recorded after the completion of Totally Nude, Crazy Nude (album #15) in 1990 but was not included on 1994's Otis Hauls It In (#16), since that album was recorded in a 16-track studio. Because of "Brain"'s four-track lineage, it didn't really fit sonically on Otis. And so, even though it was recorded on July 15, 1990 (or 1991...for some reason I have two dates listed on this track), it appears for the first time here on Wahid. Wahid was a tremendous accomplishment for the Chuxx, considering the spirit-crushing experience of recording Otis. So sour was the taste in the band's mouth after the four years spent trying to put that album out (which resulted in a de facto ostracization of that album by the band members), that none of the Chuxx really thought about recording a new album for many years. Otis finally wrapped (was put to rest?) in 1994, and for eight long years, the Chuxx essentially did nothing. For a band that once put out eight albums in a three-year span, this certainly was an unprecedented nadir of creativity. But once the band began talking about recording again, momentum built quickly. The album only took 18 months to record and another 12 months to master and press because the four members live in three different states. The result, however, is what the Chuxx feel is their finest album to date. And their very first to be released as an actual CD! In fact, you can buy Waking President Wahid HERE! |
