Music reviews of Good Day to Cross a River
Music Review: You'll Laugh. Maybe Think. But Definitely Laugh
Rating: 4 Stars
I'm not a particular fan of stand-up comedy per se (although as a teen I had my share of Carlin, Pryor, and Foxx records), but I like to laugh as much as anyone else. I'd seen occasional snippets of Giraldo on TV and was intrigued enough to buy this CD, and I'm not one to buy comedy CD's (the last one I bought several years ago was by Bill Hicks; an outstanding comic, by the way). I'm glad I succumbed to the temptation this time too. Giraldo is hysterically funny, and offers mordant social commentary without ever being "preachy" or pedantic (Lenny Bruce's failing). As a reviewer below mentions, my only regret was that the CD wasn't longer. Outside of an occasional slow spot (and what comic doesn't have those?), Giraldo is laugh-out-loud funny throughout. In fairness, I should mention that if you're easily offended, Giraldo may not be for you. He's not quite as scathing or acerbic as the late Hicks often was in his observations, but he's just as irreverent (his comments regarding the recent pedophile scandals of the Catholic Church are pointedly and rightfully caustic), and there's plenty on this CD to ruffle the feathers of those with tender sensibilities. Then again, considering how regressively banal, how obstinately puerile, our culture has become in recent years, maybe ruffling a few feathers isn't such a bad thing.
Description of Good Day to Cross a River
Giraldo is one of the hottest comics in the country, socially provocative yet broadly funny. He's well-known for his stint as a regular panelist on Comedy Central's "Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn". He regularly contributes a "rant" segment to "Last Call With Carson Daly". Both of his half our stand-up specials, "Comedy Central Presents: Greg Giraldo" are currently airing on Comedy Central. He's also performed on Letterman and Conan, and now hosts "Stand-Up Nation" Friday nights on Comedy Central. This debut contains over an hour of his best material.Miscellaneous CDs
