Chinga Chavin was the stage name of American musician and advertising executive Nathan Allen "Nick" Chavin (July 3, 1944-March 15, 2023). Chavin released the album Country Porn in 1976 on Attic Records.[1]

Life and career

Nick "Chinga" Chavin was born in 1944. He achieved considerable notoriety when he recorded and released the raunchy comedy album Country Porn in 1976. It was sold through the mail by Penthouse magazine and sold over 100,000 units. Country Porn was reissued on CD in 1992 with liner notes, a booklet complete with song lyrics and photographs, and four bonus songs.

Track 2 of the album is a song Chavin wrote with friend Kinky Friedman,[2] the comedic "Asshole from El Paso," a blithely vulgar parody of the country classic "Okie From Muskogee" by Merle Haggard. Friedman later recorded a much shorter and less rudely worded version of the song.[3] Track 3 of the album, "Cum Stains on the Pillow", was covered in reworded form by David Allan Coe, on his 1978 album Nothing Sacred.

Chavin's other albums are Jet Lag and Live and Politically Erect. He contributed two songs to the soundtrack of the adults only mystery thriller Punk Rock. Chavin ran an advertising agency in New York City.[4]

Chavin died in Boca Raton, Fla., on March 15, 2023. In a remembrance, longtime friend and collaborator Kinky Friedman said, “He’s a guy who had a lot to offer. He really walked his own road.” [5]
