Editorial Reviews

Howdy? It started as a lark. My kids had been listening to a lot of alternative country and bluegrass in the house: Widespread Panic, Stringcheese Incident and Yonder Mountain Stringband. These reminded me of the country crossover hits from the 60's that I'd listened to growing up: The Statler Brothers, Roger Miller, Johnny Cash and especially Ray Stevens. So I started writing some songs and singing them to friends over the phone. Then, musician and producer Tony Scherr heard them and invited me to record them in his home studio in Brooklyn, New York. I hadn't done any music recording since the old SCTV days and the film soundtrack for "Little Shop of Horrors". Tony and I had a terrific time. He played guitars and bass. And we brought in fiddle, banjo and mandolin players. We put the CD on the ArtistShare website and almost immediately the word got around. Radio stations contacted me, major news outlets did stories, Country Music Television called, and then, a sweet surprise, a Grammy nomination! There are 13 songs, all of them have a little spin to them; including the bonus track, which is a train song called "Bonus Track." Country or Comedy? Hopefully both! Thank you, Ray Stevens. ?

This album is a must have. Great music and incredibly funny/clever tunes. If they do not have it here you can get it directly from Rick's official website rickmoranis.com

Oddball lyrics, good stringwork, and kind of catchy. The track "I ain't goin' nowhere" is priceless.

OK, so you think you can't be bothered going to the website because it is not available here (why not?)
Check the lyrics (hilarious) and listen to the music.
Funny, catchy, a must for your own King of the Road.
I bought one for mine.
