I absolutely love these CD's. A friend played the first CD for me a few years ago and, being the funniest music CD I had ever heard, I never forgot it. So I was glad to find him recently through the PositiveMusicAssociation.com web site.



This set of 2 CD's is outstanding because it offers the best of 2 genre's and, with 34 excellent and very entertaining songs, its well worth the money (if Amazon is out of stock you can get it for $28 through cdbaby.com, and his other 6 CD's also). The first CD is pure comedy and the second is categorized as `World' music but I would say pop, soft rock and contemporary folk music.



The comic CD offers several of the most hilarious songs I've ever heard. Even my adult children laughed a whole lot at these songs; every song is just filled with poking fun, quirky gentle jabbing, funny stories and absolute absurdities. He makes a lot of fun at how we take love, love songs and relationships way too seriously, but unlike most contemporary comedians, he does so with-out any nastiness or degrading either gender. It's just a whole lot of good fun that most of us can identify with and laugh at when we're shown his unique perspective.



On the second CD Mr. Tamblyn really shows his outstanding talent as a singer, song-writer and musician. The song `Standing Still' immediately became one of my favorite songs and a mantra for me, `Stand Like Mountain, Move Like Water' is really inspiring, a few songs are insightful reflections about persons in other countries. OK, the war/peace song is a very moving true story that made me cry, BUT he didn't resist a few more gently humorous songs on the second CD also. I love the second CD just as much as the first and he does have more CD's which I hope to get soon.



After listening to this CD you'll probably understand why he's called a musical laf-ologis and why he's so popular for performing at so many events. ALSO, I just ordered his book `ATILLA THE GATE AGENT' because I saw some reviews which promise that his book is just as funny as his songs.
