Free Music Notes for Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart
Free Music Review: Bob Newhart, PhD of Comedy
Hit: 5 Stars
The first comedy album (on vinyl) I ever bought and it still makes me laugh. Although best known for his TV series, this talented entertainer developed many classic standup comedy routines. His takes on many routine topics were always unique and delivered in a deadpan style that just enhanced the humor. Unlike today's comics, he never needed profanity or meanness to get us laughing.
All the routines are great on this album, but my favorites are "Nobody Will Ever Play Baseball" and "The Driving Instructor." For those of us who still play baseball (or softball), try to imagine how you'd explain the game to someone who'd never played and convince them to market it for you. Never knew the rules could sound so ridiculous. Although "The Driving Instructor" is a little sexist by today's standards, have some pity for the teacher in fear for his life.
Still my favorite comedy album of all time.
Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart Poster
Digitally remastered edition of this 1960 album from the comedian and actor. A former advertising copywriter, Bob Newhart spent his spare time at the company entertaining a co-worker with telephone calls about absurd situations, which the pair would record and send to radio stations as audition tapes. Whilst his co-worker soon ended his involvement, Bob kept up the activity and eventually one of his tapes was passed to Warner Brothers Records. They signed him in 1959 and suggested he expand the material into a stand-up routine, which was subsequently recorded at the Tidelands Club in Houston, Texas. An instant smash in the US, the album topped the US charts and earned Bob the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and Best New Artist. Hallmark.Miscellaneous Music CDs
