Timely and Funny!

"This half album allowed Cledus to poke fun at songs while they were still hot. My Crowd is a hillarious jab at Montgomery Gentry and the crowds they have faced on the road, and I was Country When Country Wasn't Pop expresses what a lot of country traditionalists have been thinking for some time. A great album! A Must Have!"
Even with only six songs, Cledus keeps us laughing!

"Six songs? SIX SONGS? I was upset like heck when I heard that Cledus T. Judd's latest album was only six songs in length. "A Six Pack of Judd" indeed. But then I got to thinking; did Cledus really need a full-length CD to make us shed tears of laughter?Apparently not.This CD is one of his funniest, if shortest. The first track, "Where's Your Mommy" (T. Keith's "Who's Your Daddy"), is arguably the best (Your diaper's droopin'/you must be poopin), bringing the always funny concept of fatherhood into the equation. The next song, "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Pop" (Barbara Mandrell's "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool") features a surprise appearance by the Possum himself--George Jones. And "My Crowd" is a country music anthem, while it parodies Montgomery Gentry's "My Town." It's "270 Somethin'" (Mark Will's great "19 Somethin'") that bring's Cledus's overweight issues front and center; "Riding With Inmate Jerome" (David Ball's "Riding with Private Malone") that discusses the life and times of a pimp; and "New Car" (Kenny Chesney's "Big Star") that talks about those old wrecks that we drive, and how they annoy our friends and, as Cledus would say, neighbrahs.If you aren't a Cledus T. Judd fan, buy this album and join the millions (or hundreds, or maybe just a couple dozen). If you are one of the select few who has heard Cledus, either live or through your headphones, buy this album and still be amazed at his ability to master the parody. Either way you look at it, you must buy this album, because this is one six pack that is truly refreshing. Warning:
It may be non-alcoholic, but it IS addictive."
