"Baton Rouge" rides on The Nixons, the self-titled third album the American alternative rock band released through MCA in June 1997, with Zac Maloy writing the words and splitting the music with Jesse Davis and John Humphrey.
The album arrived with expectations hanging over it. As AllMusic told it, the 1996 hit "Sister", an acoustic ballad that made no secret of the band's Pearl Jam influences, had left the Nixons looking like one of post-grunge's next big names. Rather than cutting another "Sister", they came back that summer with a batch of harder, grungier songs.
