In my opinion, Homer & Jethro may have been the most under-rated musical/comedy act of the last 60 years. I still have my father's origial copy of "The Worst of Homer & Jethro" featuring both June Carter "Baby It's Cold Outside," and Spike Jones "Pal-Yat-Chee." The whole album is a brilliant representation of 50's studio C&W work and PI period comedy. I toured for years with a couple different bands that didn't even listen to country, but Homer & Jethro would tapes during those long drives ould always get respect while causing tears to roll down our faces and our sides to hurt from laughter. Saw them in Spokane, Wa in 1963 and will never foget it. Americana at it's finest!!!!!!!!!!
