Editorial Reviews

Roger Alan Wade is a country western singer/songwriter with over 20 years in the business. He's written for the likes of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and George Jones, to name a few. He even has a couple gold records and a #1 song with Hank Williams, Jr. His song "If You're Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough" ended up on the "Jackass" soundtrack and became the unofficial theme of the movie. Roger gained national attention when his first cousin, actor Johnny Knoxville ("Jackass", "Dukes Of Hazzard") sent some songs he recorded to Howard Stern, who liked them so much he invited Roger to perform in his NY studio. The response was so great, the cousins decided to make an album and this is the debut from the new alliance between Oglio Entertainment and Johnny Knoxville Records.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to under-estimate, hard to forget!, September 24, 2005

This review is from: All Likkered Up (Audio CD)

Take one look at the titles of these songs--"Butt Ugly Slut", "Gone Back to Whorin'," and "Fryin' Bacon Nekkid," to name a few--and you think: Okay, a novelty CD, with some good laughs, nothin' more. If that's what you're after, then go ahead and buy this CD--you'll get a lot of laughts. AND if you're lookin' for somethin' more, buy this album as well--because, well, it's not ALL laughs.

Try not to cry when Wade picks and sings "Johnny Cash Has Died." The Kristofferson-esque poetry of "She's a Baby When She Cries" and "Sweet Wine of Sorrow" make these two tunes instant-classics. Even "Horse I Wanna Ride" is a tribute to the days of old, and what makes a man (and a horse).

But, ok, you're probably mostly interested in the novelty side of the album. And it's hard to ignore--not that you'd want to. "Gone Back To Whorin'" and "All Likkered Up" have laugh-out-loud moments...but so do most of these songs; it'd be shame to just select a handful, because they're all worth of mentioning.

ALL LIKKERED UP is a hilarious, moving, thoughful, intelligent, stupid, ENJOYABLE album. Roger Alan Wade, through brilliant songwriting and a whiskey-tinged voice, has crafted an album where a children's song of living life ("Chicken Song") can be played alongside a classic tale of murder and justice ("Knoxville Girl"). These are songs of liquor, lust, death, redemption, bacon, chickens, horses, female anatomy, and probably some more liquor. Yeah, lots of liquor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Effin CD I Have Purchased In A Long Time!, January 4, 2006

My newly ordered cd was waiting for me when I came home from work today. And let me tell you, it is going in my cd player at home, in my truck, and I am making a copy to keep at work.

Without a doubt this is one of the most honest and refreshing recordings I have ever heard. Just Roger with a guitar = real DIY, low-fi, etc. And the songwriting is excellent also, in addition to being a pretty good guitarist.

File this under Sad, Drinking Music, Drinking Alone Music, and Humor.

Roger Alan Wade is not the greatest country picker, or singer, to fall off the turnip truck, but this is one funny record. The reason I bought this is because I had heard a couple of his tunes on [...] - quite by chance. I was not disappointed. This has quickly become a favorite around the poker table, and at hunting camp.

This is not really going to tickle the funny bone of many women, and shouldn't be played for the kiddies, either, as it can get pretty raunchy.

If you like music that would make a PG-13 version of Hee-Haw!, then this is the record for you.
