Cledus Envy [Enhanced]

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
If every musical genre needs a Weird Al Yankovic, then country music can breathe a deep sigh of relief. Cledus T. Judd is here! The music on Cledus Envy isn't innovative, but most of the songs are parodies, so there's little room for instrumental ingenuity. There is room for wit and wordplay that push parody into the realm of satire. The parodies here don't take that step, yet nearly all of them are funny. "Man of Constant Borrow" demonstrates Cledus's persona--that of an unpretentious, mildly insecure, and totally uncaring guy's guy. Many of the cuts are built around popular songs that are ripe for parody. The original songs, such as "Willie's Got a Big Deck," fit in perfectly with the familiar selections. --Mark Huntsman

5 out of 5 stars Cledus Rules!.......2003-01-30

Wow this is the best new CD I've bought in a while. I absolutely love the fact that he also hosts CMT's Most Wanted Live. Let's all vote for his video "It's a great day to be a Guy!"

5 out of 5 stars Cledus Envy.......2002-12-13

This is a great and fun CD. I absolutely love the song "It's A Great Day To Be A Guy". Cledus T. Judd puts a unique comic spin to country songs.

5 out of 5 stars Cledus at his best!.......2002-07-22

This is definitely an album worth listening to. If you like Cledus, this is classic Cledus. If you've never heard of Cledus, then this is worth checking out. He is the King of Country Parodies. Cledus Envy is Cledus at his best. This album has songs such as 'Don't Mess with America' (parody of 'Only in America ' by Brooks & Dunn) and 'Breath' (parody of 'Breathe' by Faith Hill). It also has hilarious original songs like 'Willie's Got a Big Deck'. This is one album that will keep you laughing!

5 out of 5 stars Weird Al of country music.......2002-07-19

Cledus. T Judd is the Weird Al of country music...and that's a great compliment. The Man is a pure genius and this CD proves it. The pains in your gut from laughing so hard after listening will be well worth it. This CD is also well worth the money too as you will want to listen to it over and over again. I meet Cledus at the Brooks and Dunn Neon Circus and must say he was a very nice person. It was great he took the time to sign some autographs.... Buy this CD ...YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!
