Free Music Notes for Richard Pryor: ...And It's Deep Too! The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings (1968-1992)
Free Music Review: This Nigger's Funny!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've always been a fan of Pryor and his movies, catching any of his stand-up performances whenever they came on TV. But I've never owned any of his albums/CDs. Glad I saw this set so I could get them all.
Taking us from the beginning to the end, this collection has it all from the Warner Brother archives. You get to hear the genius of Richard Pryor as he talks about growing up in the ghetto, the wino's, Mudbone, and his frequent use of the word nigger. Then we hear Pryor's relationships with his wife, dealings with drugs, the police, and jail, going to Africa, and (sadly) getting multiple sclerosis. Pryor was one of those comedians who took us along with them as they experienced life, pointing out things they felt were odd to make us laugh. Pryor did that with such grace and style that no one has been able to do since. He learned from the best (Redd Foxx) and was able to pass that along to others whose lives he's influenced (Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock).
Since I haven't had any comedy albums from back in the day, I thought these recordings were shorted, meaning that the pauses between tracks were a way for the label to edit out stuff. But from what I've learned that's how all albums were made, since all the albums were records, not tapes or CDs. That was my only gripe with these.
The set comes with a great booklet filled with photos and various texts, detailing Pryor's life and legacy in the entertainment industry. And probably coolest of all is that each CD is sleeved with the original cover art from the album. So glad they didn't decide to alter that at all.
Such a great gift for anyone who's a fan of comedy. Never regretted getting this at all. And for the price, it's a pretty nice deal!
Richard Pryor: ...And It's Deep Too! The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings (1968-1992) Poster
One can't help but feel both elated and sad when listening to this colossal overview of Richard Pryor's recorded work. Multiple sclerosis has silenced the greatest humorist of his generation, and that's tragic for Pryor. But it's also a heartbreaking loss for comedy, for, as these discs amply illustrate, the man who exploded the parameters of stage comedy in the '70s could have taken it in wild new directions. As it was, Pryor fleshed out Lenny Bruce's commitment to brutal honesty--and with a keener acting ability. This nine-CD set includes the comic's seven Warner Bros. LPs, plus a disc of previously unissued material and a rare 25-minute interview from 1983. Listening to the likes of 1974's That Nigger's Crazy and 1978's Live in Concert, it's obvious that while the man shaped comedy for decades to come, very few of those who've followed in his footsteps have anything near the talent, fearlessness, wisdom, or insight that Pryor possessed. Or the pain, for that matter. But as Pryor observed looking back at his peak years, "I was a drug-addicted, paranoid, frightened, lonely, sad, and frustrated comedian who had gotten too big for his britches." All those qualities come through loud and clear on these discs, but what he's left out is that, at the very same time, he was also very possibly the funniest man on the planet. --Steven StolderMiscellaneous Music CDs
