Drunk in Public [PA] by Ron White (Comedy) (CD - 11/11/2003)
"Drunk in Public [PA]" (11/11/2003) Comedy White, Ron (Comedy), Hip-O RecordsRecorded at Laff Stop, Houston, Texas. Audio Mixer: Donivan Cowart. Recording information: Laff Stop, Houston, TX. Editor: Donivan Cowart. Photographer: Pete Tangen. Ron White made his hay as a member of "The Blue Collar Comedy Tour," alongside fellow sons of the South Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, and Larry the Cable Guy. The show played to sold-out audiences in over 90 cities, with appearances on LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, Comedy Central, and CAROLINE'S COMEDY HOUR, where White crafted his self-deprecating comedic chops to a razor's edge. His debut album DRUNK IN PUBLIC is a hilarious delight. Unlike Foxworthy and Engvall, White eschews song parodies and instead goes straight to observational humor. With the sound of ice clinking in his glass of booze, raspy-voiced White rails against vegetarians and Hollywood fakes ("Ten Days In Los Angeles"), the problems with marrying into a rich family ("Married a Wealthy Woman"), and the pretentious in-laws that come with it ("Lug Nut Day"). White wraps up this tight package of laughs with "They Call Me 'Tater Salad'," a story that cleverly explains his unusual nickname and the title DRUNK IN PUBLIC.

Live 2002 [PA] * by Robin Williams (Comedy) (CD - 11/19/2002)
"Live 2002 [PA] *" (11/19/2002) Comedy Williams, Robin (Comedy), Columbia (USA)Recorded live at various venues across America during 2002. LIVE 2002 won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Comedy Album. Personnel: Mary Hopkin (vocals); Peter Asher (acoustic 12-string guitar, baritone guitar, programming, drum programming); Dan Greco (cimbalom); Christopher Wade Damerst (programming); Bobby Brinton (scratches). Audio Mixers: Nathaniel Kunkel; Noel Golden. Recording information: America; Conway Recording Studios, Los Angeles, CA; The Strong Box, Cardiff, Wales. Photographer: Arthur Grace. Arrangers: David Campbell ; Richard Hewson; Peter Asher. Robin Williams has been surprisingly successful at locating cinematic vehicles that provide him with an opportunity to use his special comic gifts, namely a rapid-fire associational ability that finds him jumping from topic to topic as audiences, barely able to keep up, laugh at the juxtapositions as much as the jokes, and a talent for mimicry that extends beyond every known accent to include the imagined voices of a variety of inanimate objects. He has been so successful, in fact, that he has done relatively little of the work that best employs his attributes, standup comedy. But in 2002, after 16 years off the road working in Hollywood, Williams undertook a tour of North America chronicled on this two-CD set. Unlike the simultaneously released Live on Broadway DVD, which depicts the tour's final performance in New York City, the CD is culled from shows around the continent, though the material is essentially the same. While extremely topical, it demonstrates that the 50-year-old comedian remains what he always was, a baby boomer whose sensibility is informed by the drug humor of the 1970s. Sober as he may be today, Williams still comes across as the funniest guy at a pot party, his obscenity-laced raps filled with the facile leaps of logic a doper could best appreciate. That said, he is, as usual, hilarious, and not infrequently witty. His attack on golf, rendered, naturally, in a Scottish accent, is devastating, and his reflections on growing older hit home with his aging fans. The album's first disc contains the basic show, while the second disc devotes individual tracks to each of the cities on the tour, during which Williams speaks in local accents and tells local jokes that are well-appreciated by his listeners. Forget the films; this is what Robin Williams does best. ~ William Ruhlmann

It's Not Funny [PA] [Digipak] * by David Cross (Comedy) (CD - 05/04/2004)
"It's Not Funny [PA] [Digipak] *" (05/04/2004) Comedy Cross, David (Comedy), Sub Pop Records (USA)Audio Mixer: Chris Fahey. Liner Note Author: David Cross . Recording information: The Improv, Washington D.C (01/15/2004-01/18/2004). Author: Deborah Orin. Editors: Jeremy Hartshorn; Chris Fahey. On his second album, IT'S NOT FUNNY, actor/comedian David Cross (veteran of cult classics MR. SHOW and THE BEN STILLER SHOW) examines the rise of patriotic country songs as the United States prepared for war with Iraq, skewering the likes of Lee Greenwood with his acerbic satire. This sharply honed attack exemplifies a man with a quick wit who has become royalty in the kingdom of cutting-edge comedy. Cross is not explicitly a political comedian; however, as with the late Bill Hicks, his humor derives from wandering monologues that pick apart the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of society. Cross's every path just naturally strolls back to politics, and usually to the Bush Administration and the Iraq War. He's not a fan of either, to say the least, but while his attacks are pointed and fierce, the self-effacing, hyper-confident performer never falls into the trap of sacrificing comedy for rhetoric. With its relentlessly scathing humor, IT'S NOT FUNNY is nothing less than what Cross's devoted fans would expect.

Shut Up, You Fucking Baby! [PA] by David Cross (Comedy) (CD - 11/05/2002)
"Shut Up, You Fucking Baby! [PA]" (11/05/2002) Comedy Cross, David (Comedy), Sub Pop Records (USA)This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular aiudio tracks and multimedia computer files. Recorded live in Portland, Oregon and Altanta, Georgia in Spring 2002. SHUT UP YOU FUCKING BABY was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album. CMJ (12/02, p.58) - "...Cross swims upstream...to confront the emptiness and crass commercialism of flag waving....Pointed and side-splitting at the same time while never sounding like he's doing a 'bit'..." This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Audio Mixers: Kip Beelman; Scott Crane. Recording information: Atlanta, GA (2002); Portland, OR (2002). Photographer: Marina Chavez. Unknown Contributor Roles: Jody; Shonalli Bhowmik; Michelle Dubois; Jeff Sullivan; Arlo; The Forty-Fives; Nick Swardson. Comedy is hard, as many a hack has said, but comedy albums are even harder. Consider this: there was an explosion of comedians in the '80s and '90s, yet there hadn't been a classic comedy album since Bill Hicks. Both the standard-bearer of '90s standup, Jerry Seinfeld, and Los Angeles' vital alternative comedy scene of the '90s failed to produce an album of note, so it then seemed like the comedy album was dead and buried in 2002. Then, David Cross -- best known as the "David" of the brilliant Mr. Show With Bob & David, the greatest sketch comedy show in history -- did a whirlwind tour of rock clubs in the spring of 2002, releasing highlights from the tour (culled mainly from Portland and Atlanta dates) as the Shut Up, You Fucking Baby! album on Sub Pop that fall. It would be hyperbole to say that it revitalizes the genre -- one album can't do that, and it's doubtful that anybody else would be given the freedom Cross was accorded here -- but it is no stretch to say that it's one of the greatest albums in recorded comedy history. Cross' genius is that he not only fearlessly tackles political, social, and religious issues that his contemporaries dance around, he also eases from stinging satire to absurdity during the course of narratives that seemingly ramble but always wind back to their main theme. When everybody else treats George W. Bush with kid gloves, Cross tears into him with savage humor and logic, dissecting everything from the war on terrorism and Bush's reaction to 9-11 ("Nader would have f*cking bombed Afghanistan...What did we expect he was gonna do? The planes hit and he's gonna hole up in a Motel 8 with a bottle of Jack, just crying in a corner?") to his family history, the 300 dollar tax refund, and position on SDI, not just cracking jokes, but cutting to the political quick the way no pundit has had the guts to do. The Catholic Church and John Ashcroft are subject to similar rants, but the key isn't that Cross is preaching to the converted or just reciting "liberal" lines -- he offers biting, informed criticism that only a comedian could possibly deliver. It's not all religion and politics, though: just as funny are Cross' reading of a story from the Promise Keepers handbook, recounting a night of debauchery with Harlow, and exposing the absurdities in Cosi's marketing plan for Squaggels, their square bagel. It's standup at its finest -- fierce, angry, freewheeling, and hysterically funny. The recording is so good it's just icing on the cake that the packaging is a wonderful knowing parody: none of the song titles have anything to do with the routine at hand, they're either send-ups of comedy warhorses ("Sex on the Internet!?," "My Wife's Crazy!") or cheerfully vulgar parodies ("Shaving the Pope's Pussy," "Abortion Doctor From Hell!"), while the acknowledgements include "First of all thanks to God, for giving me a voice with which to sing. God, you are brave, bold and beautiful and, I don't even believe in you! Your ways truly are mysterious." It all adds up to a wonderful comedy record, the best in years, and one of the best showcases of a genius comic at the top of his game. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Jean Shepherd and Other Foibles by Jean Shepherd (Comedy) (CD - 12/15/2004)
"Jean Shepherd and Other Foibles" (12/15/2004) Comedy Shepherd, Jean (Comedy), Collectors' Choice MusicPersonnel: Jean Shepherd (spoken vocals); Erik Darling (guitar, banjo); Shel Silverstein (kazoo, washboard). Excelsior! Jean Shepherd lives! This disc contains Shepherd's luminous lampooning and ageless storytelling on his second long-player (and first for Elektra Records), Jean Shepherd and Other Foibles (1959). He brings the same completely unique mix of understated beatnik madness and tongue-in-cheek political and social satire to this studio recording, which became a trademark of his two-plus decades on the air at WOR in New York City (aside: Shepherd actually and somewhat fittingly broadcast from the station's transmitter site in Carteret, NJ). Those not hailing from the Big Apple may have read one of his books or various contributions to Playboy in the early '60s. Shepherd was also the unseen adult voice of the central character Ralph Parker in the 1983 film A Christmas Story. The 11 tracks included on this disc reveal a true blend of unassuming rapier wit wrapped up in the guise and Walter Mitty-esque outlook inherent in every red-blooded American. His tales depict both the surrealistic nature of the modern a-go-go world as well as those life experiences which tether everyone to the very essence of humanity. Cuts such as "Judson-6" -- dealing with the "debauch" anticipation of dialing a randomly discovered phone number just for kicks -- as well as the ultimate send-off on "Fun Funeral" actually combine the two realities. The title "For Men Only" is a poke at the type and mass consumptions of non-pornographic periodicals skewed and marketed toward a testosterone-laden demographic. The centerpiece of this recording is undoubtedly the track "Balls." Here, Shepherd's viewpoints and contemplative musings deal with the great American pastime -- Chicago White Sox fans, consider yourselves (both of you) duly warned. Fittingly, he concludes his ruminations with the ironically titled "Human Comedy." This biting one-man re-enactment of a typical parade down the Main Street of Anytown U.S.A. is laced with a razor sharp insight that became almost indelibly linked to the American absorption into the "cult of personality" -- good, bad, and indifferent. In 2003 Collectors' Choice Music reissued Jean Shepherd and Other Foibles on CD with newly inked liner notes from Joseph F. Laredo as well as a brilliant reproduction of the original artwork and LP jacket ramblings from Shel Silverstein. ~ Lindsay Planer

Will Failure Spoil Jean Shepherd? * by Jean Shepherd (Comedy) (CD - 12/15/2004)
"Will Failure Spoil Jean Shepherd? *" (12/15/2004) Comedy Shepherd, Jean (Comedy), Collectors' Choice MusicRecorded at One Sheridan Square in New York, New York in December 1960. Includes liner notes by Joseph F. Laredo and Herb Gardner. On his second Elektra album, recorded at the Greenwich Village nightclub One Sheridan Square during the last week of 1960, monologist Jean Shepherd offers a mixture of hipster perspective and warm nostalgia. That can be a paradoxical combination, but he pulls it off to the delight of the audience. In "The Playboy Syndrome," for example, this transplanted Chicagoan captures the attitude of a typical New Yorker when he describes the U.S. as "that gigantic country, just clinging to this little island here." But soon after, he gives away his greater affection for Midwestern life, especially the life he lived in his childhood. Although he often has his audience in stitches, Shepherd, best known for his radio monologues, is not so much a comedian as a storyteller. "My First Blind Date" and "Little Orphan Annie" are both reminiscences that end in disappointment, but what makes them work is not the twist at the conclusion of the story so much as the descriptions. Approaching the home of his blind date, for example, Shepherd refers to it as "a kneeling home," giving a sense of its size in comparison to the "linoleum house" he himself lived in. And the material also works because of the enthusiasm with which Shepherd talks, even when he is speaking with a rueful admiration of an advertisement. The effect is not exactly satirical so much as it is critically affectionate. Shepherd's audience in the Village, primed by his radio work, warmly responds to that affection even at the end, when he seems to dismiss them on the edge of a new year. ~ William Ruhlmann

Get Smart by Original Soundtrack/Don Adams (Comedy) (CD - 01/14/1997)
"Get Smart" (01/14/1997) Comedy Original Soundtrack, RavenPerformers include: Don Adams, Barbara Feldon. Includes liner notes by Bill Dana. This 45-minute CD, assembled from Don Adams' 1960s-vintage United Artists recordings, is only intermittently funny. The basic problem is that Adams' humor, although verbal in nature, is also distinctly visual -- it needs that image of his fidgety, angular presence to make the jokes really work. Moreover, his voice in the wraparounds for the segments lifted from the program itself gets tiresome very fast, and although the sections from the program are chosen for their distinctly verbal humor, without the images to support them, they seem pale and anemic. Perhaps the CD's shortcomings are also reflective of a certain obsolescence; in the 1960s, before anyone thought of home video and before it was even clear that a major, steady marketplace for reruns of sitcoms existed, the original LP release of this material was the only conceivable way that audiences could preserve and enjoy anew the best segments of the show -- stacked syndicated reruns and the VCR have altered that equation. As an added bonus on this disc, Raven Records has included a pair of songs recorded by series co-star Barbara Feldon, "Max" and "99," referring to the two lead characters from the series (though they seem to have gotten their order wrong on the CD track listing). Both songs were produced by Elliot Mazer, whose other credits include Janis Joplin, Mike Bloomfield, the Byrds, and Barclay James Harvest. Neither track is anything to write home about musically, although they are funny artifacts of the era. And the notes by Adams' longtime friend Bill Dana are entertaining. ~ Bruce Eder

Comedy Ain't Pretty * by Moms Mabley (CD - 01/13/2004)
"Comedy Ain't Pretty *" (01/13/2004) Comedy Mabley, Moms, Fuel 2000 RecordsSolo performer: Jackie "Moms" Mabley (spoken vocals). Includes liner notes by Bill Dahl. Liner Note Author: Bill Dahl. While the dirty old man has been a comic standby for generations, Jackie "Moms" Mabley was one of the first female comics to turn the tables and define herself as an older woman who was looking for some good lovin' from younger men; she was also among the first women to rise to prominence in standup comedy, long an almost exclusively male field. Mabley had been a veteran of the so-called "chitlin circuit" for over 20 years (and supposedly appeared at Harlem's Apollo Theater more times than any other performer) before she began achieving mainstream recognition in the early '60s with a series of top-selling LPs for Chess, and Comedy Ain't Pretty is compiled from vintage Moms material recorded in the early to mid-'60s (unfortunately, no dates or sources are listed in the liner notes). While occasionally veering into mildly blue material (which would scarcely earn a PG rating today), most of Comedy Ain't Pretty finds Mabley as the foxy old lady who speaks her mind with little concern for what others might think, with her mush-mouthed and gravel-throated delivery adding to the comic impact of her jive-talking routines on child rearing, the modern age, air travel, and attending a summit meeting at the White House with Bo Diddley and Big Maybelle (and if only that had actually happened). Mabley's comedy was far from subtle, and not all of it has worn especially well, but as a sampling of classic African-American comedy from the days before Richard Pryor, Dick Gregory, and Rudy Ray Moore entirely changed the playing field of the game, Comedy Ain't Pretty is genuinely amusing and historically vital, especially since so little of Mabley's material has been released on compact disc. Points added for Bill Dahl's comprehensive biographical liner notes. (So, does anyone want to follow this up with a DVD release of Moms' movie, Amazing Grace?) ~ Mark Deming

Foul-mouthed, scathingly sarcastic, and surprisingly insightful, White holds forth on everything from the Mile High Club to Michael Jackson in his inimitable red-neck-meets-rat-pack style. Those with tender ears will want to steer clear, but comedy fans with a penchant for bawdy straight-shooting will get a kick out of YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID.
