Jerry Clower
One of the most popular country comedians of all time, Jerry Clower's down-home, folksy southern humor might never have become a mainstream phenomenon, but it's resulted in a lengthy career and an enormous catalog of recordings. A country boy born in the rural Mississippi town of Liberty in 1926, Clower was an excellent football player and an active member of the 4-H club as a youth. He served in the Navy after graduating from high school, and went on to study agriculture at Southwest Mississippi Junior College and Mississippi State University (the latter on a football scholarship). After completing his studies, he took a job as a fertilizer salesman. In 1970, Clower had a speaking engagement before a farm group in Lubbock, TX, and a local DJ who was present encouraged him to take up comedy as a profession. The DJ recorded Clower's next speech and sent it to MCA, who offered Clower a recording contract. http://www.umgnashville.com/artist.aspx?ob=per&src=prd&aid=82

@Content2B Mr.Clower did exactly that...funny...and you never had to worry about hearing something out of line. That's why I don't listen to many "commeidans" today...the first vulgar word, and the channel changes.
Wonder why people think they have to use profanity to be funny?

If you didn't have an 8-track player and Jerry Clower tapes back in the '70's. You missed out on one hillarious Sunday afternoon. One of the best memories I had as a kid.
