Clowns Exit Laughing

Anyone with a fear of clowns may want to stay far away from Clowns Exit Laughing - The Jimmy Webb Songbook. This album, featuring various artists giving their own twist to Jimmy Webb's iconic songs, is a wild and wacky ride from start to finish. The opening track, a rendition of "MacArthur Park" by a mysterious artist known only as The Jester, sets the tone for the album with its eerie carnival vibe. As the tracklist progresses, we are treated to bold interpretations of Webb's work, from the hauntingly beautiful "Wichita Lineman" to the whimsical "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." One standout moment comes in the form of a punk rock cover of "Galveston" by the band Clown Royale. The frenzied energy and unexpected twist on this classic song will leave listeners both amused and slightly terrified. Overall, Clowns Exit Laughing is a chaotic and unpredictable listen that will appeal to those with a taste for the bizarre. If you're looking for a musical journey that will keep you on your toes (or in your clown shoes), this album is definitely worth a spin. Just make sure to keep a sense of humour handy - you may need it.
