Rejoice, Dear Hearts!/Kick Thy Own Self [2 on 1] [Live]

Amazon.com
Brother Dave Gardner contains multitudes. For starters, this Southern comedian was also an ordained Baptist minister as well as being a drummer and a singer. Judging from this pair of albums from 1959 and 1960, his live shows were amazing performance pieces. His truly expansive routines included Shakespeare parodies, swinging musical passages, and funny digressions. There's also room here for cool-cat philosophizing, riffs on outer space, and preacherlike inflections. Brother Dave can spellbind the listener with his freewheeling rambles one minute and tell a riveting story the next. The routines feature countless hilarious voices and characters, not to mention jaw-dropping vocal sound effects. Incredible charisma and warmth imbue the entire CD. Brother Dave was an artist who was liable to draw from just about everything and anything and somehow make it all work. It's hard to imagine what '50s audiences made of this hipster from Tennessee. Country music legend Chet Atkins produced both of the original records. --Fred Cisterna

Great Reproduction .......2007-07-26

This CD is a great reproduction of exactly the same albums my parents listened to in the 1950's. It brought back all the "weird" sayings we got from Dave Gardner, who was ahead of his time.

One of a kind humorist from the 60's.......2007-05-12

It was gift for my Father. He saw Brother Dave in person several times years ago. Dad enjoyed the gift, for the old LP's he had were so scratched from wear, one could barely understand them. Brother Dave came along at a time when segregation was still in vogue and political correctness wasn't heard of. His stories might offend some, but there is no cursing and no one is a target of tastless humor.

Dave Gardner.......2007-04-11

Brother Dave is one of the best comedians ever. His humor is a little deep but is still the best. If you want good clean humor, this is the man to get.

Origins of "different" humor.......2007-01-16

Takes me back to the times my family spent listening to comedy that was, unknown to them, over the kid's heads.

Rejoice dear hearts / Kick thy own self.......2005-09-05

I was a fan of "Brother Dave", back when he was plying the clubs. I owned most, if not all of his "ROCA Alblims" that over time disappeared. I was happy to get these CD's and have enjoyed them greatly. I look forward to getting others that are available. His humor, imagination, sense of reality and use of our language is not equaled by today's crop of comedians.
