After hearing "Here's Your Sign," I knew that I wanted to get Bill Engvall's other albums. I really enjoyed that album, so I figuered the others would be just as good, if not better. I picked up the most current one, "Now, That's Awesome!", and it IS AWESOME! I thought that this album was much funnier than the first album.

Bill's material revolves around family, stupid people, kids, smokers on display at airports, pads (not the kind you use for writing), body piercing, and much more.

What I liked about this album was that he sounded much more energetic and lively. He also seemed to appear more colorful and emotional on this one. I laughed a bunch of times.

My favorite track is "pads," when he talks about how his wife makes him go to the store to buy pads for his daughter. It is HILLARIOUS!!! I laughed the hardest on this one. Very funny.

I didn't care much for the two songs on the album; not the biggest fan of country music. But that doesn't take anything away from the album. I wished the performance was a little longer as well, but that's okay.

All in all, "Now, That's Awesome!" is a comic achievement. I really enjoyed it. Just like in the first one, he's pretty clean, though his material gets just a little adult at times, but nothing shocking or offensive. This is a great album, and Bill Engvall is a very funny guy. Hope to hear more stuff from him in the near future.

I just saw this man in a Standup at the Improv Theater in Irvine California on Aug. 21, 2000 and I know that this CD had his standup material in it. Upon buying it I learned it was true. Bill talks about everything from camping trips, to wierd Wyoming sightings, to family trips in the car that everyone can relate to. He also goes into stupid things people say with the famous "Here's your sign." catch phrase. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my life. No one comes close. I think this CD is definately worth the money. I assure you that you will share it with ALL your friends.

I think this is the best of the Engvalls cd. I was laughing non-stop. And the over use of the word awesome completely describes his talent as a Comedian.

I became a fan of Bill Engvall upon hearing his segment of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour album. Since I like to listen to stand-up albums while I drive, within a month I'd purchased all four of his full-length albums -- this one, I think, is my favorite. The title routine, "Now That's Awesome," delves into a topic that bugs me (the misuse of language) and then goes on into some typical Engvall wacky examples. The stories about his kids (the son making him laugh, the daughter taking surfing lessons) are all great and bring the humor into a real universal context. Engvall is a real "everyman" comedian, except he's funnier than most of us.

And lest we forget, this album does include the requisite "Here's Your Sign" routine and comedy/country musical tracks. These won't particularly stand out from the similar bits on his other albums, but they're still just as good here. All in all, a great CD that I listen to often.

This CD does not stop. From start to finish you can relate to everything Bill says and can't help but laugh because you just can't help yourself. Took CD on recent camping trip and played it for group of people, it was a riot! Some were going to buy it when they got home. If you haven't had a good belly laugh in a long time, this is just the thing, Trust me!!

I'd never heard of Bill Engvall until I did a long distance drive to DC with my daughter and her best friend and her mother. On the way back, they told us some of the "Here's Your Sign" jokes and we laughed ourselves silly. When I got home, I ordered this one and laughed til tears ran down my face. My kids are big fans of Bill Cosby and Bill Engvall is, so far, the only other comedian I can put on in the car and not worry about what the kids will hear (or repeat in most cases). Everyone can relate, no matter where you live or who you are! Enjoy

Man, Bill Engvall's CDs get better all the time. His material is great.

I am a major fan of the blue collar comedy guys. This is not Bill's best but it is work a listen. I have it on my ipod.

It's Bill. I like most of his stuff, and this did not disappoint. Dorkfish is the most quoted CD in our house.

I have several of Bill Engvall's cds and absolutely love them. I laugh out loud every time I listen to it. If you're a Bill Engvall fan, then this is a must.
