Nashville, beware! Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Tracy Lawrence, Gretchen Wilson, and Montgomery Gentry listen up--your songs are no longer safe! Cledus T. Judd has returned with his first full-length album in years, and has put all of you on his (no)hit list!

Cledus is a staunch supporter of traditional country music and patriotism. Somehow, he manages to work those themes into these songs without sounding fake. He pokes fun at redneck heaven in "I Love NASCAR" (with a little help from pal Toby); advocates Johnny Cash (and denounces Dr. Dre) in "Hell No"; proves that fart jokes are still hilarious in "__ Is Funny"; says adios to the Dixie Chicks in "Martie, Emily, and Natalie"; sings a ballad of a cards in "One Jack Off" (get your mind out of the gutter!); begs for a home cooked meal in "Bake Me A Country Ham"; demands that lazy women work in "Paycheck Woman"; looks for love in all the wrong places in "Going Ugly Early" and "Starkissed" (the latter written by Toby Keith and Scotty Emerick); and gets serious on the touching "Funny Man."

Country music's "reigning king of country parody", Cledus T. Judd is not going to make the big-hitters shake in their expensive shoes. But he will ruin their songs, and gladly! "Bipolar and Proud" is Cledus's latest album, and it is as funny as he gets! And that, people, is pretty darn funny.

Cledus comes through again with another great album. Without a doubt, he truly is the "Weird Al" of country music!

This album is witty, funny, and smart yet low-brow enough for the redneck in us all.

"I Love NASCAR" is pure Cledus Gold. Classic...

"One Jack Off" is just way too funny! "Hell No" and "Paycheck Woman" are also everything any Cledus fan should expect! The entire album will keep you entertained!

I would imagine that his "conservative pandering" would not surprise most Cledus fans. After all, in his parody of Brooks and Dunn's "Only in America" called "Don't Mess with America" (from Cledus Envy) he says "And thank goodness Bush is our President..." That kind of told me where he stood!

I thought the song "Martie, Emily & Natalie" was funny and quite appropriate given his target audience (i.e. country music fans which are, for the most part, fairly conservative).

I want to thank you for sending the cd to me. It came in good condition. Again, thank you.

This album reeks of awesomeness. Each and every song is funny, the cd is also enhanced with the video for "I Love Nascar" If your a big fan of Cledus T. Judd and or a fan of funny parodies then this album is for you.

Is this guy actually Bipolar, or is he just an idiot making fun of the mentally ill?

Now if you axe me, and many folk do on a semi-regular basis, then this here Cledus feller has an interesting dilemma. First of all, he makes good music. Weird Al Yankovic is the Cledus of the cut out bins. Cledus is a true artistic genius with enough talent to spill over in to three or four other folks what might be interested in making CDs and getting in to the product marketing business. However, on the flip side, that boy has a spelling issue with his name. I should know, because my name happens to be Cletus and it is spelled as it should be.

This cognomen is derived from the Latin and is in honor of Emperor Cletufiscus III who ruled parts of the Eastern edge of the Roman Empire back a coon's age ago. He wasn't named Ce"d"ufiscus, but Cle"t"ufiscus. That is why my Daddy give me such a regal name, because I came out looking like a little emperor... least that's what my Mama told me. Cledus here is a talented individual, and I reckon I'll be buying more of his CDs with the money I done won last year in the Chesterfield County Elk's Club Lottery and Raffle (proceeds going to the Chesterfield County Home for the Infirm) but I sure enough do wish this boy would spell his name right
