Free Music Review: serious and funny songs
Hit: 5 Stars
this 1989 album, at that time, marked the first time Ray recorded serious songs since 1983's "Me" album on Mercury. Side one of this cassette or the first five songs on the CD are serious. the other five are novelty. "Your Bozo's Back Again" is wonderful. The use of the caliope is great and the idea of how the clown knows how bad he's being treated by the woman but it's worth it because it's better than being alone he figures. His tribute to John Wayne, "Marion Michael Morrison", is also outstanding. "Another Fine Mess" has an easy-listening feel, because of the saxophone. "There's A Star Spangled Banner" tells the story of a guy in Beirut held captive and his longing to be back home. "Butterfly Inside a Coupe DeVille" has a strange title but it's a serious song. the novelty songs don't disappoint either. "I Saw Elvis in a U.F.O." has since become a huge fan favorite {a U.F.O. hovers over the stage and pink aliens dance around in concert while Ray performs, usually dressed like Elvis.} "Bad Dancin" is a brilliant satire on the yuppie decade. "Stuck on You" satirizes infomercials...this is a song he has yet to make a music video of. "The Woogie Boogie" is about a tribe of Indians that live in 'Chattanoogie'. "I Used to Be Crazy" is in the mold of Spike Jones with heavy duty sound effects and overall lunacy. The album's cover, not seen here, shows two shots of Ray. the first Ray is serious looking with his arm around the clown Ray, whose grinning. This album also marked the first in quite a while that featured Ray as a songwriter on 99% of the project! the only song Ray didn't have a hand in writing was "Marion Michael Morrison", which was written by long-time songwriting and music video partner C.W. "Buddy" Kalb. the other 9 songs were co-written by Ray. This is a wonderful album...a re-issue is also available and it's called "At His Best" which contains just 8 songs...two were left off the re-issue!!
