Music reviews of Bill Cosby: Himself
Music Review: Audio companion to VHS/DVD release
Rating: 4 Stars
OK, a few things to remember regarding this release;
1- Bill Cosby is hilarious.
2- This album is not the complete show. Some sketches have been edited down and being audio only your not getting the mans famous facial expressions and physical quirks that are such a part of so many comics arsenal.
3- Bill Cosby is hilarious. Oh, I already said that didn't I? Well it's worth repeating...
4- The material here is a continuation of the mans well worn gambit of taking his audience down semi familiar routes but throwing in outrageous twists and anecdotes. Cosby is a master of exploring the inherently bizarre thought patterns of we mortals, and pointing out the hilarity of our foibles. All within a positively cherubic energy and infused with the joy of living.
5- Bill Cosby is hilarious. Oh, and a stack of his material is now out on CD and so there is no excuse for not updating your collection or being able to get together quite a complete back catalogue of the guy especially given the very reasonable prices many of his releases are available for.
But of all his albums this one perhaps is the one I've come closest to only giving three stars due to it's inherent disadvantage compared to getting the full DVD version.
Description of Bill Cosby: Himself
Taken from a 1982 concert film, this CD contains several solid routines by the veteran comedian. Most of these portrayals are humorous takes on family life. Cosby gives special attention to the messiness and frustrations of child rearing. His caricatures of domestic situations reveal a sharp eye for telling details that most listeners will recognize. Cosby pens the material himself and it's tightly written stuff, indeed. "The Dentist" perfectly captures the humiliation and absurdity of a visit to the tooth doctor. "Chocolate Cake for Breakfast" might be the only flop here. The comic's drawn-out performance is heavy-handed and everything gets a little too spelled-out. But for the most part this disc features Cosby in good form. The man is the embodiment of All-American humor and this album reflects that. --Fred CisternaGeneral CDs
