In April 1992 the band traveled to Memphis in search of a cheap recording studio. The band was booked to play the Crossroads Music Festival the very same week, thanks to a very supportive engineer named Doug Easley, who had produced Mutha's Day Out's first demo. In the same performance, Mutha's Day Out's first, a representative from Chrysalis Records was present, there to see another band. However, the representative at Chrysalis liked Mutha's Day Out so much they were offered the contract instead of the other band. They went to the studio to record their first and only album, "My Soul is Wet." The album was released on October 19th, 1993.
