Free Music Review: Cheech & Chong: Classic Comedy 101
Hit: 4 Stars
Before their movies there were their comedy albums. And "Cheech & Chong's Greatest Hit" is a great introduction to their genius.
It has to be good. I lent this album to a coworker many years ago. Unfortunately they quit and I never got this back. If theft is any indication then this is full of quality tracks from their other albums. What's helpful is that where each track came from is mentioned within the notes.
Aside from a truncated version of "Earache My Eye" it's still a great listen. In fact, they managed to have the epic "Pedro and Man at the Drive-In" skit (presented as part of a "Pedro & Man" trilogy on this album) so I can't figure why they'd cut about half off of "Earache". But with so much great C&C comedy album material it's by far much better to get the albums themselves. When you realize that C&C was much more than a couple of stoners and more about presenting many hilarious characters you'll find that the movies wind up falling short of the excellence of their albums. It's very funny stuff and the meager track selection is just right.
I'd recommend this C&C compilation to the newbies. But, once you become hooked to this you'll want to grab their other albums as well.
Now if you excuse me, as Blind Melon Chitlin' sez, "I'm goin' down town to see my girl...gonna sing her a song..."
