In the 1990s, Uno would produce albums for Mudhoney, their Sub Pop releases Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge (1991), Piece of Cake (1992) and their 1994 collaboration with Jimmie Dale Gilmore Buckskin Stallion Blues, and The Presidents of the United States of America, their 1994 debut self-titled album.[4][5][6] Piece of Cake peaked at number 189 on the Billboard 200[7] while The President's debut album would be re-released on Columbia Records the following year,[6] peaking at number 6 on the Billboard 200[8] and later being certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.[6]
