8 Track Stomp is the second album by the American musical duo Chickasaw Mudd Puppies, released in 1991.[1][2] Its title refers to their love of 8-track cartridges.[3] The duo supported the album by touring with the Feelies and then Flat Duo Jets.[4][5] "Do You Remember", for which a video was shot, was a minor college radio hit.[6] Members Brant Slay and Ben Reynolds described their sound as "porch music".[7]
The album was produced by Michael Stipe and Willie Dixon; the duo's other choice was Tom Waits, who was enthusiastic but busy.[8][9] Dixon associates Cash McCall and Al Duncan contributed to the recording sessions.[10] "Oh, Yeah" was written by Dixon, who also used a copy of one of his albums as a percussive device on "Cicada".[11] Stipe played tuba and provided backing vocals on some of the tracks; Mamie Fike played violin.[12][13] "Omaha (Sharpless)" is about the farm in Omaha, Georgia, owned by Slay's parents.[7]
