THE VERY BEST OF BOB AND RAY Legends of Comedy

Fans of Bob and Ray’s timeless wit and intelligent humor will rejoice as some of the best of the duo’s radio routines are included in this newly released production. The first part, from their 1984 Carnegie Hall concert, includes “Mary Backstayge, Noble Wife,” and their classic “Kimodo Dragon” sketch. The next section includes their outrageous parody of the Army-McCarthy hearings, including a clip of Senator Joe McCarthy’s voice and Bob’s memorable impression of Army Chief Counsel Joseph Welch. The last two parts include an assortment of send-ups of classic radio shows, alleged expert testimonies, and popular period commercials. The package includes a bonus of six previously unreleased tracks, and the accompanying booklet offers an informative essay, “Bob and Ray: The Two and Only.” Priceless listening.
