This album is the debut for Cledus. You can't strike him for the "sound quality" of the album. The parodies are funny and so are the originals. I mention the "sound quality" because you can tell a difference between this album and albums that he put out later.

If you have a Cledus record, I recommend you buy this record. If this would be your first Cledus record, I would offer a different album by Cledus, this guy has talent and the record label wimped out on his debut. Don't get me wrong you can make out the songs, it just sounds like it wasn't recorded in a studio at all. That is the only reason this album doesn't get 4 or 5 stars.

When I bought this album I had no idea that it was Cledus' debut. I'd heard Just Another Day in Parodies at a friend's house and was hoping for something similar. I was a little disappointed but I still found the album to be well worth it. In fact the only song I didn't quite feel was Swingin'. I mean he went from country to cra---ahem, rap, with pretty much no warning. Possibly my absolute favorites on the album are Indian In-laws (if my girlfriend's parents are anything like the ones in the song she can forget about the wedding), Please Take the Girl (I never cared for the Tim McGraw original), and Motel Californy, which is just---well---hillarious! Shade Tree Mechanic is also a song I listen to quite regularly. In short, this is a great first album for Cledus.

This was the first album by Cledus T. Judd, who is sort of country music's answer to "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a decent enough comedy music album, but I can't help feeling I'm missing something. Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with the original versions of most of the songs being parodied here. Yeah, that must be it.
