El Nino Loco is the follow-up album to 2007's King of the Mountains, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard Comedy chart. El Nino Loco features the video hit "If I'm the Only One," which is also included on the enhanced CD as a bonus item. Ten years after his first major label release, Rodney is still the same regular guy he's always been- sporting his trademark black cowboy hat, boots, and Texas twang. He is the king of middle class comedy and has no plans of changing his regular guy approach. "I have no agenda. I don't want to change anyone's mind on anything. But I feel an obligation to the people who support me. I want to entertain them, to be funny. I figure if I get the comedy right, success will follow."
I'm a big fan of Rodney Carrington's humor. I've seen his live show in Vegas twice and own all his CD's. I purchased this one not knowing it was all music. While I enjoy his music as a change of pace to his stand-up, a whole album of just music is very disapointing to me. I listen to him for his stand-up first, music a distant second. Just one fan's opinion.

New Rodney Carrington albums are always a joy. Yes, it's true though. This is an album of nothing but songs. No stand up on this record. When I heard that I was prepared to be disappointed and give this album 3 stars (at best). But two things happened...
1. The songs are amazing! Only a couple I didn't care for the rest are comedy gold!
2. I listened to the last track, 'Funny Man.' Not a comedic song and I'm guessing it explains why there isn't any stand up on the record.
Overall, another Carrington classic!
