Free Music Notes for The White Album
Free Music Review: If it wasn't for my horse
Hit: 5 Stars
I must warn you about this disc,"DO NOT,DO NOT,PLAY THIS DISC WHILE DRIVING!" I bought a copy of The White Album,loaded it into my CD changer in my pickup and proceded to head to a friends house in Pennsylvania via The Famous New Jersey Turnpike. I had just passed Exit 8a when Black went into his tyraid about the Weather Channel,I was convulsing with laughter and almost drove off the road,I quickly composed myself and proceeded to my friends listening to Kenny G. as a tranquilizer.When I arrived at my friends I insisted they play the disc and was able to convulse in the safety of a non-moving environment.My friend has purchased a copy and is busy converting people to the words of THE MASTER. If you LOVE to LAUGH,BUY this album,but do not,I'll repeat that "DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS DISC WHILE OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE!!!!!!
I can't believe it!I wrote this review a few years back and I was very surprised when I saw Mr.Black a few months after I had posted the review and told him I had written it,he shook my hand and asked if I was the guy driving on the Jersey Turnpike.I told him yes and he said he loved my posting.I was flabbergasted,I don't know if he still reads reviews here but he made me a very happy and loyal fan.One thing tho,I wish people would get more original,I've read at least 2 reviews that are almost downright plagerism (forgive the spelling).I hope Mr Black will return to playing small venues again.I lost it when someones cellphone rang and he yelled at them to ANSWER THE F**KIN THING!
Love you Lewis!
Free Music Review: Black's Best So Far
Hit: 5 Stars
'The White Album' is, at least in my opinion, Lewis Black's best album he has released yet. The man is dead-on with his opinions on everything from the dangers of suntan oil to the wonders of Nyquil. Black's delivery is great. People may complain that he screams too much and yes, maybe it is a little Kinison-like, but Black is definitely an original comic. You can actually hear the absolute astoundment in his voice at the stupid things in life that people tend to just accept without question.
The highlights of the album are many, but his bits about having to audition to play himself on a sitcom about himself is great. The bit about IHOP being his health club and the horse story that ensues is hysterical. His talk on the Clinton/Monica debacle is fabulous. And his readings from Arkansas newspaper clippings regarding some of the state's stranger citizens is very amusing as well.
From beginning to end, 'The White Album' is flat-out hilarious. Black is a very funny man who looks at life from a much different and much more cynical view than most. Not only does he make you laugh, but he makes you think as well. Not a whole lot of standup comics can do that.
Free Music Review: LEWIS BLACK IN TOP FORM ON WHITE ALBUM CD
Hit: 5 Stars
I've enjoyed Lewis Black on tv for quite a while now and was thrilled to learn he finally had a cd available! He is one of the best comedians on the comedy circuit and his skewed outlook on life and his frustrated delivery is the best since the late great Sam Kinison.After seeing Black on tv it's a real treat to finally hear him cut loose on this hilarious cd.He is part of the new generation of comics.After years of bland standup, guys like Lewis Black and Robert Schimmel are finally breathing new life into the comedy circuit. Black's new cd will have you laughing out loud from beginning to end and it's one that you will play often.Especially funny are his rants on weather men and Bill Clinton. Fire this cd up at your next party.You'll be glad you did! This guy will be around for years to come. I can't wait to see him live!Free Music Review: Blunt, Honest Comedy At Its Best
Hit: 5 Stars
Lewis Black isn't the most well known comic in the world. His biggest claim to fame are his "Back in Black" segments on Comedy Central's Daily Show. It's a shame, really, for he's one of the best comics to come down the pike in a long, long time.This CD proves it. Black's comic talent shines through all throughout this CD. His honest and incredibly blunt routine is uproariously funny... never once becoming boring or repetitious, a rarity in the world of stand-up comedy nowadays. Some particularly funny bits include his thoughts on Arkansas and how he feels about weather (and weather men like Willard Scott!).
A quick word of warning... Mr. Black doesn't pull any punches in his act. It's very blunt and his language can get quite explicit. If that sort of thing offends you, don't buy this CD.
Free Music Review: Lewis at his creative peak!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a must-have for anybody who enjoys Lewis Black or enjoys comedy in general. Simply put- this album is a masterpiece. It's incredible how he comes up with material that borders on the 'ridiculous' side but somehow manages to seem believable. The "horse/college" joke is one of my favorites on the album. He tackles everything- the weather, politics, you name it.And while his others albums are excellent, this album is about creativity and the diverse material and precense Lewis brings to the table. His 'angry' gimmick isn't as well-developed here as it is in his later albums but his immensely creative material is a nice trade.
So do yourself a favor and buy album!
