great mix of odd-ball tunes; must-have for demento show fans; great music for people who enjoy music removed from the mainstream.

A good way to think of this disc is to think of the kind of songs Dr. Demento would play if he was having a Country Western themed show. What you get is 18 songs, mostly novelty or comedic in nature, performed by by country stars or musical satirists. Some of the songs are funny, some chuckle, but no giant winners on this disc. But then again this collection is form before we had the whole Blue Collar Comedy revival of the last 10 years or so. So if you are looking for some mild Country style humorous songs, then this may be for you. Otherwise you may want to pass.

The CD is fabulous, but only if you like the type of music it has. It has some 'twangy' old country, and spoofs of a few "newer" country. A few songs are about beer, which is always good. If you appreciate the Dr. then you should appreciate this collection.

Dr. Demento has compiled a CD of funny country songs. Most of theses songs are very funny. "I'm a Nut" is a hilarious song by a Roger Miller imitator. "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd" is a hilarious song by the real Roger Miller. "Achy Breaky Song" is about the song you love to hate. "I'm My Own Grandpaw" is a country classic. The two Jerry Reed songs are great, and so are the two Ray Stevens songs. I also love the songs by Johnny Paycheck and "Little" Jimmy Dickens. The rest of the songs I didn't like as much, but they are still not bad.

Bought this CD as a gift for someone. It came on time and looked brand new.

Funny stuff. Takes your mind off of your troubles.
