The aptly titled Glorious is the culmination of Eddie Izzard's four standup specials of the '90s, and although 1998's Dress to Kill is tough competition, it's the best of the lot. At least it's the best to hear on CD, since it's less reliant on body language than the more physical Dress to Kill. Glorious kicks right off with the Big Topics, starting with God's creation of the world and moving on to a story of Noah and the ark that beats Bill Cosby's better-known version by a country mile (not least because it points out that it was kind of silly for Noah to bring two of any animal that could, y'know, swim) before continuing on into a lengthy and hilarious retelling of the Trojan War culminating in the brilliant "A Huge Fuck-Off Horse." Consistently side-splitting and just about the smartest standup comedy ever performed (a working knowledge of European history and culture is required to catch some of the more subtle jokes), Glorious is Izzard's masterpiece. ~ Stewart Mason Eddie Izzard Glorious Songs Purchase Glorious CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Eddie Izzard Circle CD (2003)
Glorious
 $9.89 
British comic Eddie Izzard is many things, not the least of which is wickedly funny. The fact that he dresses in drag has always been a bit of an anomaly in regard to his comedic material in that it has so little to do with his act. Mostly, it serves as a kind of comedic "shock and awe" strategy to force his audiences to lighten up. Which is why the CD version of Circle is both an effective and inadequate document of his live show. On one hand, it allows you to fully focus on his dry wit, deep historical references, and train-of-thought jokes without the distraction of a slightly barrel-chested ...

| | Loudon Wainwright, III High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project CDs (2009)
Glorious
$15.19
Charlie Poole (1892-1931) was a hard-living, plain-singing, banjo-picking raconteur, amateur baseball player, mill worker, boozer, and bootlegger whose name may not be as well known as, say, Jimmie Rodgers or the Carter Family, but who nonetheless helped define what country music later became. Loudon Wainwright built this album around both old songs associated with Poole and new ones that help move the Poole story forward for today's world. Poole was not primarily a songwriter; he took what he heard elsewhere and bent it to his will. But he had an inimitable populist style, a whole lot of attitude and charisma, and the kind of sly humor that a sly humorist like Wainwright certainly can embrace. Of the 30 tracks spread across these two discs, all but nine were ...
| | Essential Weird Al Yankovic CDs (2009)
Glorious
$15.89 
More times than not, Columbia/Legacy's Essential collections are stellar overviews. Boasting a two-and-a-half-hour running time and 38 songs hand-picked by Al himself, THE ESSENTIAL "WEIRD AL" YANKVIC is yet another well-executed title in the series. Encompassing 12 albums, the double-disc set starts from the beginning of Al's career, with "Another One Rides the Bus," his live "Another One Bites the Dust" parody from the Dr. Demento show in 1980, and it gradually chronicles up to the R. Kelly-influenced "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" from 2006's STRAIGHT OUTA LYNWOOD. Most of Al's big parodies are highlighted here ("Eat It," "I Lost on Jeopardy," "Yoda," "Like a Surgeon," "Fat") -- as well as some choice deep cuts, like the ripping accordion medley "Polkas on 45," the opening theme from UHF, and a smattering of ...
| | Adam Sandler What The Hell Happened To Me? CD (1996)
Glorious
$10.55 
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME? includes 7 songs and 13 comedy skits.
Recorded in California. "The Chanukah Song" and "Dip Doodle" recorded live at the University of California, Santa Barbara on November 1, 1995.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME? includes the songs "Techno Lap" (L Mo Weber), "A Bensonhurst Proposal" (Mike Garson) and "Southern Diner" as either segues between tracks or background music.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME? was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album.
"Saturday Night Live" veteran Adam Sandler follows up his Grammy-nominated comedy album THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU! with more wacky humor in thirteen sketches and seven songs. Sandler once again proves himself to be a multi-talented comedian and adroit singer-songwriter.
There is plenty of scatological wit here, but Sandler's true comedic touch lies in his low-key, innocent delivery, and in his ability to see unusual details in ordinary situations. Highlights include "The Chanukah Song," in which Sandler runs off a "list of people who are Jewish just like you and me." "Dip Doodle" is a testament to Sandler's quirky sense of rhyme and timing, with lines like "Jabawokee ding dong/Slip slap slee/Dipstick paddywhack/Pee pee googalee gee" sung with a kind of folk-song earnestness. Fans of Sandler's comedy will recognize the familiar character of the Excited Southerner, as well as the voices of fellow SNL veterans Kevin Nealon and Ellen Cleghorne.
Adam Sandler's second comedy album, released in 1996, offers a mix of spoken word stand-up and musical numbers made popular during his stint on Saturday Night Live. Most of the lesser material here is found in Sandler's stand-up, which features traditionally structured comic narratives interspersed with sex and fart jokes.
Fortunately, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME? contains a number of Sandler's goofy, clever musical ditties, ...

| | Herb Alpert The Lonely Bull CD (1962) Remastered; Special Edition
Glorious
$11.99
There is a dreamy-eyed wonder about Herb Alpert's debut album. Within its Latin-esque affectations, the album is a moodily romantic concoction of easy listening and progressive sounds. "El Lobo" is a portrait of love's sorrow, tenderly painted with trumpets, guitars, and ghostly vocal choruses. "The Lonely Bull" is cinematic, with imagery of bullfights vividly implied by the opening sound effects of a roaring crowd. The deep electric guitar sounds like the Ventures, a popular 1960s instrumental rock group.
Even at the outset, Alpert's style has the elements that he carried with him over the succeeding years. There's a preference for solid and dominant percussion and tempos, making all his work specifically geared for the dancing set. The Mexican melodies lend a cross-cultural vitality that was to persist in the trumpeter's work.
The colossus that is A&M Records starts right here with the first album by the 1960s instrumental juggernaut known as the Tijuana Brass. True, there was no "Tijuana Brass" per se at this time; just Herb Alpert and a coterie of Los Angeles sessionmen, with Alpert overdubbing himself on trumpet to get that bullring effect. Also, Alpert was just ...
