Free Music Review: Kinison: always irreverant, always hilarious!
Hit: 4 Stars
This was Kinison's final comic album prior to his untimely death in 1992. I'm guessing that he recorded this performance shortly before his death, as it contains many references to events of the early 1990s, most notably the Gulf War. In the opening piece, Kinison talks about how he was vilified for missing an appearance on the Joan Rivers show, and he compares himself to other entertainers whose sins have clearly exceeded his own (eg, Pee Wee Herman). This is funny stuff, although some of the references are quite a bit dated, especially the ongoing belittling of the Russians/Kurds. And as usual, Kinison can get pretty gross at times, but unlike many comedians before and since, his material is always more funny than it is raunchy. This album may not be quite as good as Kinison's earlier releases, yet it is still a must-have for his fans, as it is a small piece of the hilarity which remains from a comic genius who was taken from us much too soon.
