Huevos (album)

1

Huevos is the fifth studio album by American alternative rock band the Meat Puppets, released on October 27, 1987 by SST Records. The album title is literally the Spanish word for "eggs," although it carries a slang meaning associated with testicular fortitude. Most of the songs were recorded in one take. The cover art is done by guitarist/vocalist Curt Kirkwood. The 1999 Rykodisc re-release features five unreleased bonus tracks (early demos of "Sexy Music", "Paradise", "Fruit" and "Automatic Mojo" and a cover of Jimmy Reed's "Baby What You Want Me to Do") as well as live footage of "Automatic Mojo" filmed at the band's January 22, 1988 concert at the Variety Arts Center in Los Angeles.

Style

In an AllMusic biography of the band, Stephen Thomas Erlewine described the sound of Huevos as "ZZ Top-style hard rock swagger". Matthew Smith Lahrman cataloged the record to be a blues rock effort.
