The Geezinslaws
Eclectic Horsemen

CD IN STOCK. ORDER NOW. Will ship immediately.
Even though the Geezinslaws are categorized as "comedy", you must take note of the fact that they are also seasoned musicians. Listen to Willie Nelson join-in on "Stairway To Heaven" and the Roger Miller composition, "Doo Wacka Do". It's topline stuff.

notes
The Eclectic Horsemen allows the "Gs" to shine in fine form. In this CD, the good ol' boys from Texas really lay-it-on-the-line ... with the help of a few old friends who just happened to be in the neighborhood.
Even though the Geezinslaws are categorized as "comedy", you must take note of the fact that they are also seasoned musicians. Listen to Willie Nelson join-in on "Stairway To Heaven" and the Roger Miller composition, "Doo Wacka Do". It's topline stuff! Then, there's "Thank You Miss Audrey (For Breaking Hank's Heart)", a great idea, written by Bruce Robison and Monte Warden, that refers to Hank Williams Sr. and his wife, Miss Audrey. Kelly Willis, an exceptional singer, blends in with "Son" Allred on this one for perfect harmony. In reality, "Thank You Miss Audrey" is a very good ballad. It may be tongue-in-cheek, but it reflects seriousness!
Kris Kristopherson's "Here Comes That Rainbow Again" has been a personal favorite since I first heard the late Sammi Smith belt the tune back in 1993. The Geez rendition of this song, based on the movie, "The Grapes Of Wrath", is a delight. "Jesus Was A Capricorn", another Kristopherson gem, is also in this collection.
Singer/Politician Kinky Friedman invades the party with a tune titled "Marilyn & Joe" ... and it works in a "kinky fashion"!
The 23 tracks on this CD also spotlight some very funny jokes. The "Bird Joke" and Willie's "Goldfish Joke" are worth the price tag!
The Geezinslaws present something difficult to locate in most CDs today: originality. It's 48-minutes of pure-dee-fun!
