Coming on like some kind of cross between the hick satire of Jeff Foxworthy and the country music parodies of Cledus T. Judd, Rodney Carrington connected to the down-home comedy audience in a big way with the not-so-subtly titled NUT SACK. The album is split evenly between live stand-up routines and music. On the stand-up half, Carrington tackles familiar subjects like marriage, work, and medicine, but with a southern twist. The musical numbers aren`t parodies of existing songs a la Cledus, but highly comical original compositions. Ironically, the music backing Carrington`s uproarious lyrics is more traditional honky-tonk than almost anything coming out of mainstream Nashville; many of these tracks could be outtakes from, say, an old Moe Bandy album. Lyrically, the songs are redolent of vintage Ray Stevens, or of the material Shel Silverstein wrote for Bobby Bare in the `70s.
