It's nice in this day to pick up a comedy album that I have no qualms about letting my 5 year-old daughter listen to. The only sticky area I had to explain to her was what an enema was in "The Cure."

In this collection, which was available as an MP3 first and as a physical CD later, we hear Ray perform 12 comedy songs that will indeed blow a person away. There a lot of sound-effects on several of the recordings.

Shipped fast. New in package. As always very funny and an album that we will be listening to over and over again. I love the fact that he keeps coming up with new ideas for songs.
