This is classic Rodney, yet the material is fresh and new. It’s hard to keep a comedy schtick going for a long time, and only the great ones have. I’ve been a fan of Rodney for years, and my only complaint with this album is that it was too long in getting here. It’s totally hilarious, and if you can stand a bit of R-Rated raunch, its a blast.

To expand on one of Kevin’s points, Rodney is a fantatic singer in his own right. I think this album proves the quality of his chops as we’ve never seen before on the track Angel Friend. A touching tribute to a close friend that passed away, humor has no real part in this song. It is so real, so touching, that it was actually played at several funerals and memorials.

Great album from a country genre that branches away from the Blue Collar routine, but maintains its real and rooted integrity.

Many people, though they liked this album claimed it was “tame” compared to his usual material….I’m officially intrigued. iTunes here I come!
