 Rating:  - Ray Stevens come-back CDWhen Ray came out with his first success back in 1961 (Jeremiah Peabody's....etc.) who could have predicted that 41 years later he would still score hits on the charts. The title of his come- back CD "Osama-Yo' Mama" (2002)reminds us of that terrible day. Besides the intro song, there's another patriotic ode called "United We Stand". The rest of this CD is typical Ray Stevens' type of doing things since 1961: a lot of fun and all kinds of musical styles. The best song without any doubt is "Bon Temps Roulette" a mixture of honky-tonk, rhythm & blues, rock & roll with a cajun stomp touch! "Gone for Good" is hilarious with a country pickin' rural background. Also nice are The ... Read More: Rating: - Here We Go Again Ray Stevens has been an integral part of music listening habits since I was 12 when I was given a tape for Christmas called " He Thinks He's Ray Stevens " . From track 1 to 10 I loved every note of what I heard because laughter is an important part of all of our lives . Ray year after year through the 80's kept raising the bar and on his brand of country comedy / novelty songs but in the 90's fumbled when he realized there was a market for video albums and concentrated alot on that forum rather than recording for audio releases . He also returned to what he has always done in Nashville and that was be the driving force in Nashville composing , producing , arranging and publishing music for other artists that seldom took a credit under the name ... Read More: Rating:  - yeah, we got yo' terror right here...the hook lines abound on "Osama Yo' Mama" and the material on the CD is his standard satire and country comedy. "The Hustler" is even better than what it spoofs, "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers. "Bon Temps Roulette" is beyond description but it has a nice Cajun feel to it. "Deerslayer" is hilarious and i don't care about it's melody sounding similar to "The Blue Cyclone". I listen to the words anyway and it's a funny story of a hapless man who has what he thinks is a dead deer wake up and go wild in the back of his car! "The Lady on the Radio" is a satire on call-in shows and "Gone For Good" is demented. It's interesting that this CD (on CURB Records) was released to showcase the hilarious "Osama Yo' Mama" single but what many people don't know is ... Read More: Rating: - Pretty good, but Ray's done betterThis was the first Ray Stevens CD I bought after hearing "Osama-Yo'Mama" on the radio. I agree, "Deerslayer" is a knock-off of Steven's own "Ballad of the Blue Cyclone", but I like "Deerslayer" better anyway. The rest are ok, "Bon Temps Roulette" is hilarious. Buy this, if not for originality, for the novelty. Rating: - Not Ray's best offering.Ray Steven's first CD of new material in several years is something of a disappointment. There are a couple of comic gems on the CD--Freudian Slip and Shut Up and Drive--but overall the album is a bit of a disappointment. It feels as though Stevens and company were eager to capitalized on the word of mouth and apparent revival of interesting with the title track of "Osama Yo Momma!" and slapped together an album of songs that aren't up to Ray's usual standards. Stevens is multi-talented--he can be serious and silly all on the same album--and he tries to be so here. But after the initial song and the other two gems, the rest are largely forgettable--or worse yet. One of the songs about a deer in a back seat of a car has the same tune ... Read More: |
