A Wild and Crazy Guy by Steve Martin (CD - 1989)
"A Wild and Crazy Guy" (1989) Comedy Martin, Steve, Warner Bros. Records (Record Label)Personnel: Steve Martin (vocals, banjo, background vocals); Michael Elias, Richard Hathaway, Brian Savage, Merle Brigante, Jeff Hanna (background vocals). Recording information: Boardinghouse, San Francisco, CA; Red Rocks, Denver, CO. Editor: William McEuen. Photographers: Bobby Klein; Norman Seeff; Lynn W. Gregg; Gary Nichamin; William R. Eastabrook. Unknown Contributor Roles: Brian Savage; Merle Brigante. Arranger: Jeff Hanna. '80s funnyman Steve Martin's follow-up to LET'S GET SMALL finds everyone's favorite rubberhead in the coterie of the stars. At this point, Martin was a national phenomenon, having already moved beyond nightclubs into stadiums. His stature was that of a juggernaut rock band. Martin's film debut ("The Jerk") helped to solidify his superstar status, as did the hit single "King Tut" (included here) and his frequent (and brilliantly hilarious) appearances on NBC's SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, where the "wild and crazy guy" moniker originated and stuck. A WILD AND CRAZY GUY is split between a single San Francisco gig and one of Martin's first stadium extravaganzas before a mob of adoring fans. Martin is at his comedic apotheosis here, meshing surrealism and slapstick into a howlingly funny whole. Among the featured routines are Martin's classic "rubberheads throw fish" bit and his sidesplitting soliloquy about religion and philosophy ("In philosophy, you learn just enough to screw you up for the rest of your life").

That Was the Year That Was by Tom Lehrer (CD - 04/24/1990)
"That Was the Year That Was" (04/24/1990) Comedy Lehrer, Tom, RepriseComposer: Tom Lehrer. Recording information: The hungry i, San Francisco, CA (07/1965). Imagine a Harvard professor (which he was) with a gift for the piano (which he had), and the iconoclastic humorous bent of a Lenny Bruce or George Carlin (right on the money), and you'll get a good picture of musical humorist Tom Lehrer, whose delightfully twisted ditties presaged the counterculture of both the Beats and the hippies. Unlike those bohemian types, Lehrer never let it all hang out; his professorial demeanor was part of his shtick, making his outrageous lyrical content all the more effective. Though he was a key comedic figure throughout the '50s, THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS is Lehrer's only '60s studio recording, and his last before his early retirement from music. No stone is left unturned, as he skewers the Catholic church to ragtime accompaniment on "The Vatican Rag," mocks phony liberalism and racial unrest in "National Brotherhood Week," and takes a well-aimed shot at the then-current folk revival in "The Folk Song Army."

A Prairie Home Companion With Garrison Keillor * by Garrison Keillor (CD - 11/09/2004)
"A Prairie Home Companion With Garrison Keillor *" (11/09/2004) Comedy Keillor, Garrison, Rounder SelectPersonnel: Garrison Keillor; Cindy Cashdollar, Pat Donohue, Peter Ostroushko, Richard Dworsky, Timothy Russell, Tommy Keith, Philip Brunelle, Gary Raynor, Jearlyn Steele, Sue Scott, Fred Newman, The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, Andrew Stein, Arnold Kinsella, Inga Swearingen. For 30 years the folksy, common charm of Garrison Keillor has been delighting National Public Radio audiences and in turn building an audience with a fervor that borders on cult-like. His radio show, A Prairie Home Companion, has been a staple of weekend programming, and this disc captures the 30th anniversary special recorded at Keillor's home base in St. Paul, MN. While for the most part it's just another recording complete with all the usual elements loyal listeners would be most familiar with, there are some choice moments of reflection on the program's longevity -- the ultimate testament to its popularity. With a guest appearance by BR5-49 and an extended version of "Lake Wobegon News," it's one of the essential souvenirs for any fan to purchase and a most enjoyable offering from a man whose genius is far too underdocumented. ~ Rob Theakston

True Stories I Made Up [CD & DVD] [PA] [11/8]
"True Stories I Made Up [PA]" (11/08/2005) Comedy Daniel Tosh, Comedy Central RecordsPersonnel: Daniel Tosh (spoken vocals). Take the rapid wit of Dane Cook and trade his hyper-cockiness for dry wickedness and you've got Daniel Tosh, which is by all means a compliment. Tosh matches Cook's ability to spit wry crassness, but he's more absurd and complex. Much of his material hits two to three seconds after the fact, partly because it takes awhile to unravel and partly because of the "I can't believe he just said that" factor. The title True Stories I Made Up is the least witty thing about this package, but it references a core routine, "Fictitious Disorder," that will one day be thought of as trademark Tosh. The comedian explains how living in denial is easier than reality on the track, and goes off on a long series of made-up stories that connect. It's the brilliant, standup equivalent of a Rube Goldberg machine, but Tosh's less obtuse, blunter, edgier, and crueler side is just as funny. Suggesting athletes should be pumped with steroids because he has a high-def TV and wants his sports like his video games ("Who cares if you die at 40, you hate life after sports anyway. I'm doing you a favor") or drawing comparisons between the Abu Ghraib prison and the world of baby photographer Anne Geddes is sick and downright startling when delivered so casually by the comedian. In a lot of ways he juggles and alienates the audience in an Andy Kaufman style but without breaking the rules of standup. It's exciting and subversive and you only need to gauge the audience reaction captured on the disc to see how effective it is. At first they are quiet, probably creeped out, but by the end of the disc they're guffawing. The bonus DVD from his 2002 Comedy Central special is less interesting, either because Tosh hasn't matured his act to the sharpness of the audio portion or because the network's censors shaved off the more risky and rewarding material. It's a letdown, but the audio portion of the set is one sick, twisted, and hilarious stunner of a debut. ~ David Jeffries

Something Like This: The Bob Newhart Anthology by Bob Newhart (CD - 03/20/2001)
"Something Like This: The Bob Newhart Anthology" (03/20/2001) Comedy Newhart, Bob, Warner ArchivesProducers include: Jimmy Hilliard. Compilation producer: Bill Inglot. Engineers include: Lee Herschberg. Recorded between 1960 & 1967. Includes liner notes by Bill Inglot and Judy Brown. Audio Remasterers: Dan Hersch; Bill Inglot. Liner Note Author: Judy Brown. Recording information: Freddie's Club, MN; San Fernando State College, Northridge, CA; The Broadmoor International Center, Colorado Springs, C; The Crystal Room of the Desert Inn, Las Vegas, NV; The hungry i, San Francisco, CA; The Ice House, Pasadena, CA; The Tidelands club, Houston, TX; UCLA; University of California, Los Angeles, CA. Editor: Wally Kamin. Unique among even the most cutting-edge standup comics of the '60s, Bob Newhart entertained his audiences not with snappy patter and jokes, but with long monologues in which his voice represented one side of a conversation, the other side left to the listener's imagination. This idiosyncratic format proved endlessly adaptable, as Newhart spun seemingly endless scenarios from it. Before he became a beloved TV star with the Bob Newhart Show, he released several popular comedy albums, from which the best moments have been culled for inclusion on this definitive two-disc compilation. Whether he's advising Abraham Lincoln, confronting King Kong, or getting blitzed at a retirement party (among other comedic situations to be found here), Newhart employs his patented mild-mannered, "button-down" personality to subtle but sharp comic effect.

The Absolute Voutest! '46 by Slim Gaillard (CD - 09/15/1998)
"The Absolute Voutest! '46" (09/15/1998) Comedy Gaillard, Slim, Hep (UK)Recorded live at Billy Berg's club, Hollywood, California in 1946. All tracks have been digitally remastered by John R.T. Davies. Personnel: Slim Gaillard (vocals, guitar, piano); Bam Brown (vocals, baritone saxophone); The Two Majors and the Minor (guitar, baritone saxophone); Papa John Creach (violin); Willie Smith (alto saxophone); Bobby Hackett (trumpet); Harry "The Hipster" Gibson (piano); Leo Watson (drums). Audio Remixer: John R.T. Davies. Liner Note Authors: Alun Morgan; Alastair Robertson; Slim Gaillard. Recording information: Billy Berg's Club, Hollywood, CA (12/1945-06/1946); Jubilee NBC Studio, Hollywood, CA (12/1945-06/1946); Los Angeles, CA (12/1945-06/1946). Slim Gaillard had a strong cult following in the mid-1940s for his brand of swing, jive and eccentric comedy, which involved his own language. This set from Hep mostly consists of a live performance at Billy Berg's in June 1946 with Slim on piano and guitar, bassist Bam Brown (who plays a comic foil for Gaillard) and drummer Leo Watson; in addition, there are the soundtracks from two soundies filmed around that era with Scat Man Carruthers on drums. This valuable set gives one a strong example of what it was like to see Slim Gaillard perform live at his prime. Highlights include "Yep Roc Heresy," "Poppity Pop" and "Cement Mixer," but just hearing Gaillard ad-lib makes it all worthwhile. ~ Scott Yanow

Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits [2002] [Remaster] by Pete Seeger (CD - 04/09/2002)
"Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits [2002] [Remaster]" (04/09/2002) Comedy Seeger, Pete, Legacy RecordingsPersonnel includes: Pete Seeger (vocals, acoustic guitar, banjo). Producer: John Hammond. Compialtion producer: Lawrence Cohn. Recorded between April 28, 1962 and March 22, 1967. Includes liner notes by Pete Seeger and Arthur Levy. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Adapter: Pete Seeger. Liner Note Authors: Pete Seeger; Arthur Levy . Recording information: New York, NY (04/28/1962-10/29/1966). Photographer: David Gahr. Arrangers: Tony Salatan; Fred Hellerman; R. Gilbert; Lee Hays; Pete Seeger. "Greatest Hits," as Seeger himself wryly wrote in his liner notes, is a misnomer considering that he never had hit singles or huge-selling albums as a solo artist, though actually "Little Boxes" (included here) made the lower reaches of the charts. In reality this 1967 compilation (since reissued on CD) collects the most popular tracks of his 1962-1966 output for Columbia, which was a pretty small slice of his prolific career. Nonetheless, these were among his most popular recordings ever, whether as done by him or covered by others. To begin with, it has the original 1962 version of "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)," made into a number one folk-rock hit in 1965 by the Byrds (and covered to good effect by Judy Collins in 1963). There's also "The Bells of Rhymney," also covered by the Byrds in 1965, and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?," a hit for the Kingston Trio, although the 1962 version here is a disappointingly thin a cappella one. Other tracks were among the most popular staples of his repertoire: "We Shall Overcome," "Wimoweh (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)," and "Guantanamera." Though it might not qualify as an ideal career survey given its narrow chronology, certainly it's among the one or two best anthologies for those who just want one or two Seeger comps, as it has many of the most renowned songs he wrote or popularized in their most popular recorded versions. [Columbia/Legacy reissued a remastered edition of this 1967 album in 2002, including four bonus tracks.] ~ Richie Unterberger As a solo performer and with his band the Weavers, Pete Seeger had many big hits from the late '40s through the early '60s, by which time he was attracting more attention for his social activism than he was for his music. The 12-track GREATEST HITS collects Seeger's most popular tunes, and in so doing emphasizes his musical strengths over his political beliefs, though there's undeniable social commentary to be found in the suburbia satire "Little Boxes," the anti-war ballad "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," and the union anthem "Which Side Are You On." Other highlights include the original versions of "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and "The Bells of Rhymney," both later popularized by the Byrds, and "Wimoweh," which the Tokens later adapted into the pop hit "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."

Songs & More Songs by Tom Lehrer by Tom Lehrer (CD - 05/06/1997)
"Songs & More Songs by Tom Lehrer" (05/06/1997) Comedy Lehrer, Tom, Rhino Records (USA)SONGS & MORE SONGS BY TOM LEHRER contains the two albums SONGS BY TOM LEHRER and MORE OF TOM LEHRER on one CD. Originally released in 1953 and 1959. Includes liner notes by Dr. Demento. Personnel: Tom Lehrer (piano). Audio Remasterers: Dan Hersch; Bill Inglot. Liner Note Author: Dr. Demento. Recording information: 01/22/1953-10/08/1996. Tom Lehrer recorded rather sporadically starting in the 1950s then abruptly retired in the mid-'60s from his unique solo musical comedy act. He's a competent pianist with a voice that is perfect for his original material. This compilation combines both of his records that were originally pressed and sold privately on the Lehrer label, which he later re-recorded with improved sound for Reprise as Songs by Tom Lehrer and the live concert An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer. While the differences between this CD and the Reprise versions are minimal, other than a little more muffled piano sound on these earlier recordings, it's fun to hear hilarious works like "The Irish Ballad," the creative "Oedipus Rex," and his satire of military life in "It Makes a Fellow Proud to Be a Soldier." Several favorites, including "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" and "The Masochism Tango" are heard in orchestrated versions as well as by Lehrer alone. And Lehrer finally got around to recording "I Got It from Agnes," which implies how venereal disease is spread (in an amusing fashion, if that's possible) without ever coming out and saying it directly. This CD is a must for Lehrer fanatics. ~ Ken Dryden

Retaliation [CD & DVD] [Digipak] [7/26] *
"Retaliation [Digipak]" (07/26/2005) Comedy Cook, Dane, Comedy Central RecordsPersonnel: Dane Cook (spoken vocals). Logos are usually reserved for brand names, rock bands, and superheroes, but comedian Dane Cook has acquired his own logo--the Superfinger. This tricked-out variation of the middle finger embodies Cook's irreverent style of humor, and, on the one-CD/one-DVD set RETALIATION, recorded live in Boston, there's plenty of his quirky, in-your-face banter. Here the Massachusetts native waxes profane on being "Abducted" into alien spaceships ("I'm interested. I'm here for you. Don't suck me up by my chest."), "Superpowers" ("I'd like to be able to shoot spaghetti out of my fingertips."), and "The Friend Nobody Likes" ("You keep them [around] to hate their guts."). Like the crass buddy you can't help but laugh at, Cook isn't afraid to offend, and his carefree, often-absurd routines are sure to keep listeners chuckling, while waving their Superfingers in the air.
