JUST A GUY Notes from a Blue Collar Life

Bill Engvall, one of the stars of the Blue-Collar Comedy Tour, knows that visitors, like cheese, can stink up the joint if they stay around too long. That's why his biography is a nicely sized three-disc set. Engvall tells us the story of his life and, at the same time, lets us in on the laughs. He performs the book himself, which is a smart choice. His down-home delivery suggests that he's the kind of next-door neighbor you could invite over for a beer and borrow power tools from. In this production he says that guys have just three needs: eating, sleeping, and sex. And after hearing him explain his thinking, you just might think he's right.
