Music reviews of Comedy Ain't Pretty
Music Review: Is that your wife you're with or are you out to have a nice time?
Rating: 4 Stars
Jackie "Moms" Mabley had the talent and the skill of a polished comedienne and this CD proves it. When I review a CD I ordinarily discuss the details of some of the tracks on the CD. In this case, however, I cannot give away the jokes with a detailed description of the tracks on this CD. I still want, of course, to give you an idea of what to expect if you buy this CD.
Jackie "Moms" Mabley possesses enough energy on these tracks to light up an entire city! She engages the audience and she holds their attention well; they laugh their heads off as she cracks one joke after another. Mabley uses different scenarios as the backdrop for her jokes; we get scenes from a wide variety of places including her supposed wedding to an old man, air plane trips and her discussions with Eisenhower and others on the lawn of The White House.
Unfortunately, however, the recording quality is poor and these tracks are merely excerpts from Jackie's performances. As I listened to this CD twice over I had to conclude that at least some of this 37 minute album was recorded from the audience. What a disappointment! Some of her jokes are dated but others stand the test of time very well.
Although I give this CD four stars I think 3.5 stars would be a more realistic rating for this comedy CD. The poor quality of the sound and the dated jokes irk me.
But please don't get me wrong: I admire Jackie "Moms" Mabley greatly for the hard work she does on this CD. She knows what to say to get her audiences to laugh. I believe most of this was recorded in the 1960s.
I recommend this CD for fans of "Moms" Mabley; and people who enjoy comedy will like this CD, too.
