Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Everybody's got to start somewhere..........2000-12-03

I won't lie to you--I was a little disappointed with this album, which was released much later than it was actually recorded (which was early in Richard's career, somewhere around the release of his first album; there's some overlap in material). But it's Richard during his cleanest hours, and it's still quite funny.

In this outing, he relies more on long-winded anecdotes (played fairly straight), more slightly amusing than drop-dead hilarious, but my favourite bit is the 'Silk-on-silk healer', and especially 'Leroy.'

I'd only recommend this album to completists rather than casual fans, but it still fits in nicely as a companion piece to his first three albums and the "Live & Smokin" video. By the time this was recorded, the best Richard Pryor material had yet to arrive.
