This thread is for all the music AM/FM won't play anymore or never would play, and that most people either don't know about or forgot about. Those are the only rules.
I'll get this one started with a very unusual but hopefully (for you) enjoyable selection. This is from an Album called The Agoraphobic Cowboy by Rick Moranis. Yes- the same Rick Moranis you are thinking about who played the dad in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and Lord Helmet in Spaceballs.
In a totally unexpected move, he took a brief moment out of his retirement to release- get this- a COUNTRY album. And yep, it sure sounds like Rick Moranis singing, too. Basically the least country, least cowboy voice in the world. And you know what? It is an AWESOME album! His voice is pretty damn good and fits the music well. The music itself is surprisingly solid and catchy for being done by a bunch of session players.
The best part of all, though, are the lyrics. They are always well done; and Moranis is a true master of the double entendre. He is probably the bet country lyricist I have ever heard. This is Moranis' second album. The first was a weird comedy album called You, Me, the Music, and Me. He also has a recently released third album about his Jewish childhood which I have not yet heard because I'm not Jewish and probably wouldn't understand half of what he's talking about. For this album he actually got a Grammy nomination.
At any rate, I would have loved to post Give Me the News, as that song really shows off his talent for double-meanings, but unfortunately I can not find it online. For now here's Oh So Bucco and Four More Beers, the latter of which sums up the state of this country very well.
