Jerry Clower was the greatest country comic of all time.

"Jerry Clower was quite simply the best. He was country when country wasn't cool, to borrow a phrase. Growing up in rural Mississippi in the 1930s and 40s, he collected the life experiences that would make up his hilarious, and oft-times heartwarming and nostalgic tales. Listen to Jerry talk about the Ledbetters (Uncle Versi and Aunt Pet, Marcel, Newgene, Claude, Clyde, Clovis, etc.), and you enter their backwoods Mississippi world, you own world (and the problems therein) temporarily well-lost. Get this record (and also "Greatest Hits", "Live at the Grand Ol' Opry", "On the Road", "Mouth of Mississippi" -- I could go on and on), and you will NOT regret it."
