Personnel: Larry the Cable Guy. Photographers: Pete Tangen; Glen Rose. First off, A Very Larry Christmas is mostly Larry the Cable Guy's syndicated radio "commentaries" -- the ones where he gives his down-home observations on different topics into a microphone that's way to close to his mouth. There's some other odds, ends, and little ditties, but this is more audio-bookish than a traditional album. That said, it's very, very funny. When Larry tries to be a part of his church's singing Christmas tree, he can't understand why his "Wine 'Em, Dine 'Em, 69 'Em" T-shirt isn't allowed at choir practice ("Where does it say that in the Bible?"). Larry is an absurd, lazy, hedonist from America's heartland who has way too much time to think about things. Don't take as offensive his idea that nonbelievers and folks of different faith should stay out of the Targets and Wal-Marts at Christmas time so the Christians can grab all the deals. Along with his knowingly out-of-date catch phrase "What the hell is this, Russia?" Larry is hoping you laugh at him more than with him by totally missing the real meaning of Christmas and by making plenty of other dimwitted blunders elsewhere. These "commentaries" are much more Larry as a character than he is in his standup routine, a slow character like Charlie Weaver or Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies. Think Jethro with a South Park mouth and a bit of Blazing Saddles sensibility, and you'll stop worrying that he means everything he says. He's got talent, he's highly entertaining, and most of his jokes work well past the first listen. All these things -- along with some choice fart jokes -- overcome A Very Larry Christmas' slapped-together construction and make it worthwhile. ~ David Jeffries Even those viewers who enjoyed Larry the Cable Guy's randy antics on the BLUE COLLAR TV series may be in for a bit of a shock when spinning this, the self-proclaimed redneck comedian's first holiday album. A crusader against "political correctors" and even the most lax standards of good taste, Larry attempts to offend as many groups as possible, often in the same skit. Riffing in a free-associative style reminiscent of a truck-stop Robin Williams, the comic finds virtually no traditionally taboo subject off-limits; he is as at home lusting after underage girls as he is mocking the mentally challenged. Of course, there is a sharp observer of human nature lurking beneath the absurdity, and astute listeners will no doubt often find themselves guffawing despite their best efforts to the contrary. A VERY LARRY CHRISTMAS may make the perfect gift for people who don't take the holidays too seriously (or better yet, for those who do). Very Larry Christmas Music Larry The Cable Guy Very Larry Christmas Songs Very Larry Christmas Music Review Average Rating: (2 out of 5 stars)   A Very Lousy Christmas CD After seeing Larry The Cable Guy on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, I thought this album would be hysterical. I was SORELY disappointed. I am sorry to say this album was a total letdown. It was crass and mean-spririted; not the way he appeared to be on T.V. I don't mind crude humor when it is funny, but this wasn't funny! The CD has 28 titles and a running time of approximately 35 minutes. Thiry-five minutes? Why could it not have ended sooner!

Very Disappointed Rated it 1 star because they don't have 0 star.
I like Larry's early work but this cd indicates he's stooping to new lows.
After buying it, I took my wife's Christmas Carol cd out of the player and put in Larry's. I let it run through 2 cuts and ejected it and put the Christmas Carols back in. I'm taking it back.
What I heard, the material is very vulgar, crude, crass, insulting, insolate and tasteless.

Liked it (not for the kiddies though) It's a good CD...not one to listen to with the kids around though lol...mine sounds kinda off though like it was recorded with him talking into a recorder and pushing it on and off while he was pausing during his talking during the skits...but it's a funny CD.

Very Larry Christmas
$14.45 Import only two-disc coupling of his 1981 album 'If I Should Love Again' and his '96 album, Summer of '78. The latter is out-of-print in the US. Barry Manilow decided to follow the success of singing with the big bands with an album saluting another great lost era, The Summer of '78. Even on the newly-written title song, it's never quite clear why Manilow chose to single out the summer of 1978 out of the entire decade after all, the album is comprised of songs written throughout the '70s but the exact reason doesn't matter: as much as its predecessor, this is an exercise in nostalgia, pure and simple. Of course, it's very entertaining nostalgia, as Manilow has chosen soft-rock songs (Dan Hill's 'Sometimes When We Touch', Leo Sayer's 'When I Need You', Bob Seger's ...
