4.0 out of 5 stars Modern Southern Humor At It's Best, July 7, 1998

Tim Wilson takes an uncommon look at southern life and current issues. His blend of humor and music will make you laugh out loud. Comedic dialog is sprinkled with humorous songs ranging from the name "George" to Country-Fied-Beer-Guzzling-Elvis aliens.

I really like Tim Wilson. He can be hysterically funny while offering material that is uniquely his own. Some of his songs can be hit or miss but when they do connect, they leave you in stitches. He is at his best, however, when he is interacting with the live audience-where his acerbic wit really shines. My only complaints are a latter tendency toward blue material (according to the reviews) and too much repetition of material- hence 4 stars instead of 5. Even so, I thoroughly enjoy every CD I have of Tim's and heartily sing his praises.

Tim Wilson would have been a good candidate for the Blue Collar Comedy Tour but his work is a bit edgier than the others in the tour. He is definitely southern and has a southern outlook on things. He has some funny songs of his own composition and a few of them appear on this recording. Unfortunately, many of them have appeared on his other recordings. A number of the routines on this recording are a bit dated, being based on the Clinton siege of Waco or the Clinton/Gore campaign.

All this being said, it is still an amusing bit of work. One of his signature routines is his talking about "Uncle B.S." who seems to have been everywhere and done everything. He has added a new twist to it here and from there goes on about a front porch philosopher. These are the type of routine he does best.
