Significance

From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah was the second Nirvana album to be released following the death of singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain in April 1994. It was compiled primarily by Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, who also penned the album's liner notes. Novoselic and Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl had originally intended on releasing a live album in 1994, to accompany what became MTV Unplugged in New York in a two-disc set, but were emotionally unable to compile it so soon after Cobain's death. From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah opened at #1 on the Billboard 200. The name itself refers to a river in Aberdeen, Washington where Cobain was said to have lived under a bridge for a time after dropping out of high school (as referenced in the song "Something in the Way"). The album did not fare as well as MTV Unplugged in New York, as that spent over 60 weeks in the charts, whereas this album spent less than 25, though it is now 1X Platinum. The Wishkah River is a tributary of the Chehalis River, approximately 40 miles (64 km) long, in the U.S. state of Washington, approximately 40 miles (64 km) long. ...
