Tim Wilson's act out-rednecks Jeff Foxworthy and then some--it's safe to say that if you aren't a Southerner, you just won't get some of the material on Wilson's third CD, HILLBILLY HOMEBOY. A mix of live standup bits and parody songs, the CD features Wilson covering topics such as Baptists, fireworks, ticket-happy cops, annoying relatives and, above all, NASCAR. If you're not a NASCAR fan, a great many of the jokes here ("Talladega," "Earnhardt," "Chad Little," "Tide & Skittles") will go right over your pointy head.
However, the best tracks on HILLBILLY HOMEBOY are the song parodies, and fortunately, nearly all of these are universal enough to appeal to most country fans. He skewers racist ballplayer John Rocker in "The Ballad of John Rocker," does several wickedly funny impersonations in "Michael McDonald Had a Farm," and delivers some pointed commentary on "Back When Country Was Ugly." But one thing you won't find here is relationship humor--as Wilson explains, "Sex just sounds dirtier when a Southerner talks about it."
