Peaches & Possums

Note to the Blue Collar Comedy guys: you can be funny without being dirty. Jerry Clower is a perfect example of that. Many people marvelled that he could entertain folks without resorting to four letter words. He once said that any of his albums could be played in a Sunday School class. That's another thing I appreciated about him. From his very first album, he shared his Christian faith. I saw him perform many years ago at the Old South Jamboree in Walker, LA. One good friend does a great impersonation, and even met him. Mr. Clower once sent me an autographed picture. This was his last original album. Some stories are old ones. But he always made them fresh. The Ledbetters are back! Serious issues, such as idiotic lawsuits and MRIs, get tackled. There are beloved friends such as Grandpa Jones and Porter Wagonner. This album should be part of your comedy collection. All ages will enjoy it. As the last track says, laughter is truly the best medicine.

Jerry Clower is one of the funniest people ever. This was literally his last live recording and his best. Having been there to hear it live makes it all the more special.

Don't get me wrong, I love "off color" humor as well, but there's a gratification in laughing out loud to good humor that never steps into today's "shock" trend. This guy is funny - you won't be sorry.
