Free Music Notes for Sol's Rusty Trombone
Free Music Review: Great Ringtones for my Phone!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a comeback for Johnny Brennan who put this out for his fans because the cell carriers were raping people for almost 3 bucks for Jerky ringtones... Plus he had no control over how they cut up his calls....This CD has got 80 some ringtones for your phone, voicemail or answering machine greeting and 9 new calls.... for 9 bucks.. is that not a great deal? I own it and utilize all of the ringtones!!!
Johnny's comeback CD is coming later... this was just priming the pump for the future release of a Real Funny Jerky Boys CD. Watch for it!!

Free Music Review: John Brennan is a Growns Up Now
Hit: 3 Stars
Hey John, whatta ya doin? let me ask you something. Did you @#$% Kamal?
The problem is that in the last ten years John crossed that fuzzy threshold into middle adulthood. I don't think he has it in him to call people up and f' wit dem over the phone. He's an adult now.
So is Kamal (who was always the lesser half and who's independent CD is equally depressing).
It's over. Let the 1990s and prank calls die. It's like the 1980s and leg warmers. All we can do is look back and laugh!
The Jerky Boys will always be part of my childhood and personality. And I'm still taken to putting on the headphones and stammering laughs when I need to zone out at work.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe what's missing is the twosome working in concert. I remember my friends and I doing our own Jerky-inspired prank calls. Most of the fun wasn't in the prank itself. It was after we hung up, laughing together hysterically. Or days later when we nudged each other with our own clever one-liners, and congratulated each other on being masters of the universe.
Listen to the old JB tracks. Occasionally you can catch a second or two of laughing/banter/encouragement between John and Kamal: "yeah do it." Turn up the volume on JB volume 4: "Trains" and you can even hear John coaching Kamal, e.g., to "ask about the kid." This is what makes a prank a prank.
It's called synergy, comradery, or just having a good time. Like you say on your website "who knew?" you boys were just having a good time. You were funny, fresh, and talented. I'm not sure what the rift was about, but I can guess that it had to do with money and ownership rights. Yeah you guys sure grew up -- jerky!
Free Music Review: Be careful, Jerky...
Hit: 3 Stars
Jerky fans beware - this is not a CD full of 98 new calls. There are 6 new calls, and 92 voicemail/ringtone-related bits that, at best, highlight past jerky calls. Some might get you to smirk, but don't expect to split a gut at these. I love the JB's, so I got a hold of this regardless. Hardcore fans might do the same. I am sad to see that this time around, it's just Johnny and his trademark characters making an appearance. I did hear about the split between Johnny and Kamal a while back - I suppose they never really reconciled. Or just not to my knowledge. (After some searching around, I see Kamal also released a solo effort - "Once a Jerk, Always a Jerk")
All that said - the calls that are on here are pretty funny. You'll find yourself listening to these the most, and skipping over the rest after 1 or 2 plays.
Free Music Review: A disappointment, by far the worst album to date
Hit: 2 Stars
As others have said, this is a disappointing release. I am a huge fan of the boys and was eagerly awaiting lots of new calls, but instead got 96 tracks of re-recorded snippets of past jerky boy calls and 6 so-so prank calls. I too think all the voicemail and ring tones should have been released for free on the web site.
The calls that are on the CD have their moments, but not one of them comes close with the classic calls on previous CDs.
I would have liked to hear a bunch of calls that went bad where the callers knew who it was or the call derailed in some other way. At least that would have been new material and I am sure some of it is very funny. Brennan has to have dozens of calls like this if he was still making them at the height of their popularity.
I really hope Brennan releases a killer CD next or it might be the end of a true comedy legacy.
Free Music Review: I got my copy autographed.
Hit: 2 Stars
I met Johnny Brennan and he sold me this CD. It mostly features short sound bites intended to be used as voicemails or ringtones. These are basically the characters from previous Jerky Boys album repeating their catchphrases. A few of these are somewhat amusing, but not THAT amusing. I also doubt that very many people will want to use these vulgar soundbites as ringtones, because it would be embarrassing to have your phone yelling out cursewords. There are also a handful of prank phone calls that aren't nearly as funny as the "classic" Jerky Boys calls. Worst Jerky Boys album ever.
