"I can't believe Homer & Jethro are finally on CD! I've been listening to their records since I was a kid, and I got damn near all of them. If you like Zany Comedy, THESE two nuts are for you!!! They were the Weird Al Yankovic's of their day, taking the popular songs of that era, country and pop, and completely slaughtering them. I LOVE 'EM!!! BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT!"

It's a Hoot!

"If you like pickin' and singin' done with a smile, this CD is for you. Homer and Jethro were AM radio hit makers in the 40's, 50's and 60's. If you are not familar with Homer and Jethro, let this CD be your introduction. Lots of fun here and all tracks are ORIGINAL RECORDINGS. Well performed and produced. Good liner notes with pictures. The only problem is you will not know where to put them in your labrary; Comedy?; Country?; Favorite Listening? I love this CD and so will you. Go ahead and buy it. You'll be glad you did."

Fabulous, wickedly funny, GREAT musicians

"I grew up listening to Homer and Jethro albums and I'd like to think their music helped shaped my (admittedly twisted) values and kick-started a lifelong love affair with bluegrass mandolin and musical anti-snobbery. Seriously, folks -- these two fellers were total genuises. As befits true genius, they were humble and thus free to be incredibly, and accurately, funny. Some may think this music is corny; can't win 'em all. But those of you who aren't up on some petard will recognize that what Ken and Henry did way back when is *timeless*. A gem. No home is complete without this CD!! Wonderful music to bring home to the kids, too!"
