Music reviews of Revenge
Music Review: Another solid album from Bill 'LP a year' Cosby
Rating: 4 Stars
Yep, an LP per year. His debut in 63 and then one per year until this one in 1967. Which by any comedic barometer must be regarded as a pretty fine effort since they are all so consistent. With a clean but mildly cheeky and wildly funny child like quality, Cosby has on this album continued very much in the vein of his earlier works.
Once again we find the comic making fun of human failings and character defects but with a warm feeling that lets you know that he realises we need all these quirks to make the human race function. He discusses wives, daughters, brothers and lots of the usual anecdotes of growing up in the 'projects'.
The production is again by Roy Silver and it hasn't faded nor does it sound creaky - and this is a recording done live over 40 years ago. Thankfully the original liner notes by Stan Cornyn way back in '67 are reproduced on this Warner Archives release and they really do add to your enjoyment of the overall package. Highly recommended even if some of this stuff may be a bit jarringly vanilla to a younger listener.
Description of Revenge
During the second half of the 1960s, before he became a ubiquitous TV star and commercial pitchman, Bill Cosby was America's most popular--and influential--standup comic. Unlike the generation of Borscht-Belt funnymen that preceded him, Cosby didn't tell jokes, per se. Instead, he delivered colorful, tightly structured tales drawn from his experiences as a child and a parent, adopting a multitude of voices to portray the colorful array of characters who populated the Philadelphia neighborhood in which he grew up. Cosby's 1967 album Revenge is awash in bittersweet, hilarious accounts of snowball fights, scary monster movies, and youthful one-upsmanship. --Scott SchinderGeneral CDs
