Big Funny

Amazon.com
Recorded live at Indiana University, Jeff Foxworthy delivers rapid-fire, joke-after-joke anecdotes about the pitfalls of family life. Foxworthy's in-laws, wife, and kids are a source of endless problems and amusement, creating familiar scenarios everyone can laugh at whether they have a Southern background or not. The huge gulf between male and female methods of communication ("I know what women want, they want to talk"), the dangers of taking the kids down the cereal aisle at the supermarket, and the ever-lurking toilet paper shortage are but a few of the "joys" of married life he good-naturedly skewers. Foxworthy also does a few virtuoso vocal bits on language, mimicking the typical stock-car driver's unintelligible remarks after a race (in "Jeff Gordon Enunciates") and, of course, a few more examples of what it takes to be a redneck, his most famous routine. --Wally Shoup

Teaching Peace.......2007-05-07

Excellent for use at home. Outstanding for classroom climate in younger grades.

Wonderful, Wonderful!.......2007-01-13

I've been giving this(first a cassette, now a cd) as a gift to children since it first appeared in the mid-80's. It's as fresh and wonderful today as it was then. I know many children who grew up knowing the words to all the songs and internalizing the wonderful messages they impart.Check out other cd's by Red.

Grandchildren Love It.......2007-01-05

This CD provides lively songs that offer kids a positive approach to life and problem solving and are also great fun to dance to. My grandchildren really enjoy it!

Best version of King and I.......2004-07-26

This 1977 version really tells you what this show is made of!!! Yul Brynner is in prime form with A Puzzlement (finally being recorded with the full score), and Constance Towers makes a fine Anna Lenowans. The added dialouge tracks add a special personality to the CD, and help the listener who may have never seen the show to understand it. The 1956 soundtrack (remastered) is okay compared to this, and the 1951 Decca Broadway album is deplorable compared to this. Only version you will ever need. Highly Reccomended!!!!!!!!!

CD by which all other KING AND I discs are measured.......2004-02-17

By the time RCA recorded this album of the 1977 revival of THE KING AND I the show had been playing on Broadway for six months and the cast had settled happily into their roles. The result is a vividly theatrical recordng that, except for the "Small House of Uncle Thomas" ballet, contains the entire musical score.

I would like to correct reviewer Arne Anderson: Brynner was not dying from cancer when this production played. He returned to Broadway with the show again in 1985 just six months before his death and by that time, yes, he voice was showing noticable deterioration. But when this production played the Uris theatre in 1977 and 78 he was in fine voice. True, it is not the youthful voice heard on the original 1951 cast album but with the years come many more layers to the performance.

It also helps that several dialogue moments such as the King's soliloquy "So Big a World" are included on this record. The dialogue also plays an important part in the way Thomas Z. Shepard has laid out the record. For example, the famous "Shall We Dance" sequence. On this recording, the whole scene is prsented and suddenly what on other KING AND I cd's is just another great R & H song, is a dramatic highlight. Also, the Cd closes with a recording of the entire final scene. It is incredibly moving.

Constance Towers sounds properly mature as Mrs Anna, and all the secondary roles have been thoghtfully cast by wonderful singer/actors. Bear in mind, Richard Rodgers was still alive when this production and recording were made and was at the recording sessions. In fact, it would be the final cast recording of one of his shows he would supervise. This guarantees it is an authenic recording.

The package includes good background notes and a fully detailed synopsis of the show.

This album was recorded Monday October 31, 1977. On Tuesday November 1, 1977 I attended the performance at the Uris theatre. It was my first Broadway show. So, for me, this album holds extra special memories.

good revival recording; Constance Towers is lovely.......2003-10-12

This cast album to the acclaimed 1977 Broadway revival of THE KING AND I is a must-own for all fans of the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Yul Brynner again heads the cast as the imperious King, with Constance Towers as Mrs Anna and June Angela as Tuptim.

Yul Brynner asked his good friend Yuriko (the original Eliza in the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" ballet in the 1951 Broadway production and later the film version) to direct this production and also recreate Jerome Robbins' choreography for the ballet. Yuriko perfectly reproduced all this and more with this sumptuous revival, which embarked on an extensive touring season following it's Broadway engagement, before coming back to New York in 1985, the year that Brynner succumbed to cancer.

Constance Towers is quite lovely in the role of Mrs Anna, offering up glowing renditions of "I Whistle a Happy Tune", "Getting to Know You", "Hello Young Lovers" and "Shall I Tell You What I Think of You?".

June Angela, apparently the youngest actress to play Tuptim in a major revival, lets her gorgeous soprano loose with her breathtaking "My Lord and Master" as well as her duets with the Lun Tha of Martin Vidnovic (OKLAHOMA!) in "I Have Dreamed" and "We Kiss in a Shadow".

Hye-Young Choi is a lovely Lady Thiang, singing a heartbreaking "Something Wonderful". The rest of the cast is superb.

All-in-all, an essential cast album of THE KING AND I, and one you will really adore.

Required listening!.......2000-06-16

The 2 love duets between Martin Vidnovic and June Angela are worth the price of admission in themselves, plus you get the complete score including "I Have Dreamed", which for some unbelievable reason was cut from the film.

A MUST FOR ALL 'KING AND I' FANS.......2000-02-10

BRILLIANT! A MUST for all 'King and I' fans. It has ALMOST ALL the 'King and I' songs, except for 'The Royal Dancing Wives' Dance' and 'Uncle Tom's Cabin - The Ballet'. However, the voices are more 'opera-based', especially June Angela and Constance Towers, but what does that better? The singers are simply SUPBERB. Constance Towers portrays a SPLENDID Anna, even though Marni Nixon has a sweeter, smoother voice. June Angela sings 'My Lord and Master' and the other songs BEAUTIFULLY, I don't know how she reached all those high notes, but then again, Rita Moreno is 'smoother'. Yul Brynner is wonderful as usual, Martin Vidvonic(Lun Tha) sings MUCH better than Carlos Riva's singing voice in the 1956 movie, and as for Hye-Young Choir, I think she beats Terry Saunders. Her best song is 'Western People Funny'. And Gene Profanto and Alan Amick who play Prince Chulalonkorn and Louis are BRILLIANT too, and they sing 'A Puzzlement(reprise)' REALLY well. However, Constance Tower's 'Shall I Tell You What I Think of You' is not that good, and Marni Nixon is alot better anyway, because Towers sounds like an old woman at times. Anyway, overall, this IS a MUST!

Damned Good Presentation.......2006-05-05

Colin Towns and his big horn-laden band have really honoured Frank Zappa with this live recording.
The music is more similar to a Zappa concert in that the arrangements aren't just well-played duplicates of the released product, rather more of what it felt like to be in attendance at an actual Zappa concert. It's as if Colin and the boys use Zappa's music as a vehicle to show off their own musical chops and style.

Each peice rings with certain familiarity to the Zappa-penned music, but is executed with the band's own flair and compositional skills evocative of Zappa, but truly their own.

My only gripe is that signature epic Zappa peices the likes of "King Kong" are "horribly foreshortened", to quote the great man himself. The head section of King Kong is played very well and is very familiar, but then the band totally improvises the rest for just under three minutes before segueing smoothly into the next tune. I wished they really let that tune go longer and perhaps revisited the main theme through different instrumentation a few times in-between soloists. Sorry fellas. "King Kong" cannot be reduced to a mere three minutes.

Among my favorite peices are "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" with it's intricate and complex percussion work and "Stevie's Spanking", which begins with unfamiliar guitar jamming before suddenly kicking in with the very familiar opening strums of that rockin' tune. It just sneaks up on you and you feel like Frank and Steve Vai are jamming again. Watermelon in Easter Hay is played very nicely with some of the guitar solo being replaced with horns. Reminded me of the very excellent use of horn that Zappa used to replace the guitar solo in the '88 tour version of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven". A nice surprise.

On a side note: I'm curious as to how this particular track was allowed to be released. As far as I know, "Watermelon in Easter Hay" is legend to be Zappa's most personal signature composition, and is not allowed to be recorded by anybody outside of Zappa's own family. I hope that Colin and his affiliates don't have a big lawsuit to contend with as a result, but I'm happy to listen to that beautiful music.

All-in-all, the band performed this difficult Zappa music nicely - not copying it, but evoking the true spirit of what Zappa was about as a composer/arranger and performer.
I think Frank would appreciate the effort and style of this live performance.

Brilliant Jazz-Infused Big Band FZ Tribute.......2006-04-23

Leave it to the Europeans, who always appreciated FZ more than we sad, plaid Americans, to put together a hot band and a shimmering recording like this one. Without a doubt, this is the best Frank Zappa tribute recording I have found. It is a brilliantly arranged, movingly performed homage both to FZ's music and to his legendary live performances. This release achieves the elusive goal of being highly original while at the same time staying very true to FZ's music.

For those who have attended your fair share of FZ shows, this CD will transport you back to the days before the music died in 1993. If you're listening intently, you might even shed a tear for FZ when you hear the highly evocative opening guitar solo to "Watermelon in Easter Hay." This one song is the best single musical tribute to FZ I've yet to hear; listening reminded me very much of the first time I heard Warren Zevon's "Keep Me In Your Heart For A While," with the same emotional impact.

This is not a collection of reworked "hits." The only thing that comes close would be either "Peaches En Regalia" or "G-Spot Tornado." This is a collection for the experienced and knowledgeable FZ fan, who's got the "Stevie's Spanking" riff in his head when he sees the title, who remembers when "Black Napkins" debuted on "Zoot Allures" and all of the great audience participation FZ choreographed with the "Be-Bop Tango." The CD stands together as a single performance piece. As a live recording, the crowd presence is there, but not overwhelming. There are no board fades, with the band vamping and waning under Towns' direction as they move deftly from one song to another.

The band has a very impressive sound. This is a truly boss big band, with 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, a tuba, 5 saxes, and then keyboard, bass, guitar, percussion, and drums. This lineup harkens back to the Greatest Band You Never Heard in Your life and that 1989 ultimate, self-destructive FZ tour (which I saw in Mannheim, Germany), and then some. There is a core sound which is unmistakably Zappa, with some remarkably imitative yet original guitar work by Stephan Diez, and a number of sax solos which have both the sound and feel of the sax work captured on the "Live in New York" album.

Total running time is over 65 minutes, with extended jams on "Eat That Question," "Watermelon in Easter Hay," and "Little Umbrellas/Big Swifty." All tracks are instrumental, with the exception of only three words, spoken twice. A bold and clear baritone intones, "Just smells funny" early in "Intro and Anthem." This, of course, refers to FZ's classic line from the "Be-Bop Tango" from the "Roxy & Elsewhere" album, where he says, "Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny." This is Colin Towns' way of telling us in three simple words that he's very, very hip to FZ, his music and history, and that this concert will be a jazzy homage to the hungry freak who laid it all down so many years ago. A good comparison is the well-done, clearly respectful, but ultimately uninspiring 2004 "Greggary Peccary & Other Persuasions" release from Ensemble Moderne; the FZ sound is there, but it's too close to the original, too tone-on perfect and antiseptic, and ultimately a bit hollow.

The CD opens with a pseudo-band warm-up, which transitions into the twisted "Introduction & Anthem." Towns' choice of this tune as an opener seems to be a clear homage to Frank's country of origin. The band transitions right into a ballsy and up-tempo take on my all-time favorite, "Peaches En Regalia." This is a traditional FZ closer, and I interpret its placement early in the program as a position of honor. It's a pretty divergent arrangement, but then again, how many different times did FZ rework it himself? A few of the harmonies are arranged a little differently, and the bridge is pretty far out here. The band's horns are boss in every way, early in the show, coming hard and fast to punch up the chorus.

"Eat That Question" follows, and is an extended jam, very true to the original FZ sound. "Willie The Pimp" which got a rough and arguably ugly makeover by Captain Beefheart, gets a radical overhaul here, becoming a rocking jazzy piano breakdown, straying close to ragtime at times. Another personal favorite, "Let's Make the Water Turn Black," is arranged strongly up-tempo, becoming a big-band ska tune. It's not a bad take, but it's definitely different. The closer is "G Spot Tornado," and it's thoroughly enjoyable. It's slowed down a bit, with a rocking drum backing and some hot solos that make truly danceable; I'd call it avant garde stripper music. All of the other tracks are equally enjoyable-I've been playing this CD non-stop at home for over three weeks now.

Bottom Line: This is not an entry-level FZ recording. If you're new to FZ and thinking about an initial purchase to see what the fuss is all about, or even if you've got a few albums and are looking to expand your collection, wait on this one. Round out your original FZ release acquisitions first, until you reach the point where the titles on this CD, and all of their versions as performed by FZ/MOI are thoroughly familiar to you. Then you'll be ready to truly appreciate this recording. This is an absolutely fantastic album, and stands alone as inspired and expertly performed instrumental rock/jazz, but is best appreciated by the more mature and experienced FZ/MOI aficionado, those devoted ones who know all of the titles at first glance, who know what they want to hear, and can look forward to and appreciate seriously different yet unmistakably reverent arrangements of hard-core FZ standards.

Inventive and Entertaining Live Coverage of Frank Zappa.......2006-04-15

Overall I like this album a lot. My only complaint is that the production is not the best. At times the details of the performance are not as clear as they could be. Maybe it just came down to what level of engineering they could afford, but this is not a Zappa production. Now I know he's gone and we won't be hearing his particular slant on the guitar any more, but good production is still possible, so that was a bit of a let down. None the less, it is a live album and the sound is growing on me as I write this review.

Complaints I have read about the Imaginary Diseases album relate to the arrangements not making enough use of the full diversity of the brass and horns. Well, Colin Towns put this selection together doing just that, making full use of the diversity of the brass and horns. The arrangements are very adventurous but still very true to Zappa in my opinion. Peaches is not just a same sounding rerun and there are some interesting harmonic variations and small solo insertions. Eat that question is firstly ominous and then it's all over you. Followed by a whimsical Let's Make The Water Turn Black.

Controversially, there's a rendition of Watermelon In Easter Hay. What I like here is that the guitarist doesn't have a style like FZ's and he doesn't try to sound like him. I like the way it's played here within the context of a big band. Brown Shoe's Don't Make It is a cut down version and the music is perfect for big band. Then come Willie The Pimp, King Kong and Pound For A Brown and just like with Peaches they don't just mimic any version you've already heard. The composed sections of Waka Jawaka are probably the closest to the original of all the pieces on the album.

Stevie's Spanking is played like a big band having a rock jam, Sinister Footwear -2nd Mvt is not a densely melodic version but is just very much a sinister ambience, Little Umbrellas/Big Swifty is very nicely done and starts off with a very interesting arrangement of Little Umbrellas. The Big Swifty part refers not to the themes of that piece, but to a medley of well known themes from various great composers including Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture that is taken from the latter part of the arrangement of Big Swifty on Make A Jazz Noise Here. Black Napkins has a really nice throaty sax solo, that guy didn't learn to play that way at a school, Be-Bop Tango is a short version which starts with some really nice piano work, and G-Spot Tornado, well it sounds like a big band doing G-Spot Tornado.

All in all I would highly recommended this album. What I would really like of course is the opportunity to see a show like this in the flesh.

In my view, Rodgers and Hart have always outclassed Rodgers and Hammerstein, and this is proof positive of that fact. Many frisky recordings are served up by a spectacular list of vocasits from the present and past. Best of all, this recording introduced me to the adorable Blossom Dearie and the unbelievable Anita O'Day. Probably the best album that I own.

Recorded live at Indiana University, Jeff Foxworthy delivers rapid-fire, joke-after-joke anecdotes about the pitfalls of family life. Foxworthy's in-laws, wife, and kids are a source of endless problems and amusement, creating familiar scenarios everyone can laugh at whether they have a Southern background or not. The huge gulf between male and female methods of communication ("I know what women want, they want to talk"), the dangers of taking the kids down the cereal aisle at the supermarket, and the ever-lurking toilet paper shortage are but a few of the "joys" of married life he good-naturedly skewers. Foxworthy also does a few virtuoso vocal bits on language, mimicking the typical stock-car driver's unintelligible remarks after a race (in "Jeff Gordon Enunciates") and, of course, a few more examples of what it takes to be a redneck, his most famous routine. --Wally Shoup

Customer Reviews:

It's just a rehash.......2007-01-29

For some reason, some producer thought it would be a good idea to take short clips of Foxworthy's best bits and repackage them out of context with an irritating music track as an underscore. You lose any sense of continuity, since you are hearing perhaps 45 seconds of a four-minute routine. This is not a "best-of" CD. Buy the full-show CDs.

And six, seven, eight, nine, ten..........2002-08-04

Sorry, but I'm counting the stars that this CD deserves. Jeff Foxworthy is the undisputed king of the redneck joke (heck, he INVENTED it!), but on this album he strays...sort of.

Of course, everything Foxworthy does is going to revolve around rednecks. He IS a redneck (I am to, in spirit if not flesh). He can turn the most mundane thing (a "peanut-butter-and-jelly-sandwich") into a laugh-fest. He recaps his childhood with wood burning kits, comparing them to the safety of modern children's toys. (If you are from that time period, you will probably relate; if you are not, and this is where I fit in, you will simply laugh at the logic of it all.) Foxworthy plays on words, tells us what we don't need to know (you'll agree, especially if "your grandparents haven't retired from EVERYTHING yet"), and gives a warning to all the men: you are being trained!

The differences between men and women become apparent on this album, as Foxworthy tells us his life of living with a lot of girls (young and old). He recaps a few mishaps involving his in-laws, cracks on Jeff Gordon, gives us some valuable information on the African tsetse fly, and tells of a true situation involving a beaver, a man, and the man's nipple ("the only time the newspaper article could have the words beaver and nipple in the title and no one would be offended by it!").

All in all, Foxworthy deserves a place in our cars, stereos, or wherever you plan to listen to this record. He is a truly funny man, with a talent for making you laugh that has kept him out of getting a "real job". Whether it's rednecks or beavers, Foxworthy knows the humor in it all. Just a little warning before you buy "Big Funny": The laugh factor is way, way high!

Not Too Bad, But Get Others First.......2000-05-30

I picked this CD up only because I've loved Jeff since I bought "You Might Be A Redneck If..." his greatest album. On this album, he strays from the whole redneck thing (finally) and pokes fun at his wife's family, NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon and many others. For the most part, its a funny disc but maybe, "Mid-Sized Funny" would have been more appropriate

Album Description

This CD is called No Funny Hats in reference to something Buddy once said in an interview. The interviewer asked what Buddy thought of today's music scene to which Buddy replied: "Jazz is an American classic, and therefore we present it as such, without tricks and without nonsense and without funny hats and funny hair." The music speaks for itself!

NO FUNNY HATS STEVE MARCUS.......2006-01-21

I agree that this album is as close to being there as you can get! I have an additional comment the version of tales of Rhoda rat written by bob mintzer is the prettiest version I have heard and I have heard a few versions of it, this one is a standout the late great Steve Marcus plays one of the greatest sax solos of his career on this it's just great, it really reminds me of the Buddy concerts I used to attend you can actually feel the excitement in his performance and in the audience it's really electric it really took me back to those days. not only is buddy in top form here but it seems the whole band is in top form as well, I love it! you will too

No funny Hats is amazing.......2005-03-15

I agree with the previous reviewer. I was going to say the same things about it but he beat me to it. The album is like being there and the quality is A-1. I recommend this cd to all Buddy Rich fans. Its a must have cd!

Great CD by Buddy and his Killer Force.......2005-03-10

This cd is one of the best by Buddy Rich and his Big Band, and that really says it all.
The soundquality is really good and you can hear absolute everything, crystal-clear. I think this cd displays how an actual concert with Buddy was like, and therefore it's definitely worth a listen. Highlights are: Bugle Call Rag, Slow Funk and West Side Story Suite (which contains, in my opinion, one of the best solos ever done by Buddy; he's adventurous and plays some unbelievable, rudimental snaredrum stuff). Awesome phrasing, breathtaking.
A great addition to your collection.

I hope this is one of many to come in this series!.......2004-11-21

No Funny Hats is Buddy and the band at their best. For music alone this album is a solid five stars. For packaging and (lack of) content, I'd have to knock off one star. For starters, Grand Concourse by Bob Kaye is the full version, when it was first in the book. The rock section in the middle, while not the most interesting part, was later pulled to make a more cohesive medium swing chart. From a collector's standpoint, it's invaluable that Grand Concourse is available here in it's full incarnation! Ditto for Slow Funk. The ending was later shortened and some of the band backgrounds during the solo were taken out, and it's glorious to hear the whole chart here. Want to turn someone on to BR who may be "anti-jazz"? Play them Slow Funk and you've just converted them!
Excellent recordings of Bugle Call, West Side, Rhoda Rat, and Someday My Prince. For BR fans, this album is a treasure of what we all knew was the best of Buddy - when he was playing live! It would be great to have recordings like this available that showcase the entire book. Cathy could probably release soundboard tapes from the mid 70's to mid 80's Buddy Rich Band every week for the next year and it wouldn't get old!
BUT... ...the cd is too short. Even adding one more chart would have not only made this a better buy, but it would have felt like a full set of music. Please get some new pictures of Buddy to put on covers. We've all seen the Slingerland PR shot a thousand times, and some new pictures from the same time frame as the album(he wasn't even playing Slingerland for this recording), would be appreciated. However, that's a small 'but' for a great release. GET IT. NOW! And Cathy, please keep the albums coming!

Customer Reviews:

Outstanding Collection of Love Songs.......2007-06-22

I have to quickly disagree with those who are looking for more songs crammed in to what is such a breathtaking album of Broadway love songs. The rendition of the songs on this album and the Broadway singers selected for each piece, just are so beautifully recorded and make chills go through me. Whoever created this album, knew exactly what they were doing. This CD is full of nostalgia and artists who know how a song should be sung. They are certainly not making noise as on some Broadway CD's, but they have created an album that will go down in history for some of us who have longed to see such muscials come back to life in a way....that sadly has become a memory.

It is in need of 1 more musical........2005-05-29

I think they need to consider putting one more musical on this CD. This musical would have to be Wicked. What about As Long As Your Mine (from Wicked of course)? I think I would like this CD better if they could put Wicked on it. But of course this may not be true for everyone because obviously my favorite musical of all time is Wicked.

Not enough songs..........2004-10-20

Okay, so I have yet to hear this CD but already I have a quip: Why are there only 16 songs on this CD when the original Broadway's Greatest Love Songs had 20. They're cheating customers out of 4 songs! Also, why doesn't this include any songs from Aida, Triumph of Love, Beauty and the Beast, R&H's Cinderella, The Lion King, or Wicked! And please, "Our Last Summer" from Mamma Mia? Don't get me wrong, I love Mamma Mia, but that is NOT a love song.

Go out and see it, and if you don't love it, I'll eat my cowboy hat!" - Bill Strauss, KTAR radio, Phoenix "It's a great, great show!" KDKB radio "A multi-threat comedy wizard... His "Question Song" puts his association with the popular "Back to the Future" franchise in a box... Easily one of stand-up comedy's top talents... His guitar accompanied comedy serenades were some of the most polished musical parities we've seen performed on any stage." - The Comedy Critic What are listeners saying? "Your song answering the Back to the Future questions has to be the funniest thing I have heard on there. Great work!" "... your new song answering everyone's questions is some of the funniest stuff I've ever heard. I nearly wrecked my car I was laughing so hard when you were on Bob and Tom the other day. Keep up the good work!!!!!" "I heard you on the Bob and Tom show this morning. That was funny as *#!. I really liked your song!"

Tom Wilson really is...........2006-09-27

Tom Willson really is funny. Don't drink milk when you listen to this CD.

A title true to life: Tom Wilson IS Funny!.......2006-01-27

Well worth every penny you pay for this CD, and so much more!

If you've never had the opportunity to catch Tom Wilson's live comedy act in person, this CD is the next best thing! His unique brand of humor is acceptable for most audiences (PG), and whether he's talking about taking his four kids out to a restaurant, the differences between boys & girls, or singing his 'Kids Songs for Adults', your jaws will hurt for days from the perpetual smile you'll be wearing from listening to this CD! His stories & songs about his experiences as an '80s pop cultural icon from appearing in the "Back to the Future" trilogy will absolutely leave you in tears.

Make sure that you try and catch Tom on the road at a comedy club near you -- believe it or not, he's even funnier in person. His schedule of appearances are on his official website (TomWilsonUSA.com).
