Of course Lewis Black's new CD "Anticipation" is funny stuff. We are just busting the chops of Jack Vaughn, who runs Comedy Central Records, who took the time to answer our questions. The following is an email exchange:
The Corsair: Is this CD Grammy worthy?
Jack Vaughn: You bet. Lew has been nominated for his last two albums and won it for 'The Carnegie Hall Performance,' so history and quality are on our side.
The Corsair: The press release says, "Black spends the bulk of his time in kinder, gentler territory." Is this a new Lewis Black?
Jack Vaughn: The "Kinder, gentler territory" quote may be a tad misleading in that it's the same old Lewis, but instead of eviscerating public figures who are so desperately deserving, he has turned his fury to topics like golf, gambling, and Christmas. Just don't expect any diminished edge.
The Corsair: What makes Lewis Black "America's Foremost Commentator on Everything"?
Jack Vaughn: Lewis is a voracious consumer of news and information, and has such has developed quite a few opinions on these matters. You've seen it on The Daily Show and in his specials and now, if anything, this album proves it. To be able to whipsaw from commenting on the mispronunciation of Hanukkah to musing on the intersection of blueberry pancakes and fellatio takes a special kind of talent.
Lewis Black's new CDrelease, "Anticipation," on COMEDY CENTRAL Records drops Tuesday, August 5.
