To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With
Bill Cosby
Warner Brothers Records
What makes this Bill Cosby CD an absolute classic and must have is the title track “To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With” where Cosby tells the story of having to share a room and bed with his brother Russell. Anyone who has kids or been a kid can relate to this story about fraternal conflict. comedy download at Amazon: To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With
You can also download just the title track To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With as the rest of the album is minor material
Cosby uses his trademark ability to create distinct voices, easily recognizable self-made sound effects, and a world of his own anyone can be a part of to tell this absolutely hilarious story of two brothers who have been sent to bed but just can’t seem to be able to sleep.
Russell, Bill’s younger brother, is the unwitting star of many of Cosby’s early material, but here he is fully formed and at his best in terms of a character. Cosby, as the older brother, comes across as the dominant brother whose power is only real when their parents are not there.
We all now what happened to the young Bill Cosby but I have always wanted to know what happened to Russell in the later years. A “Russell, Revisited” album would be a godsend and, knowing Cosby’s ability to make is all participants in his magical world, an instant must-have classic.
What is really mind boggling about “To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With” is that is is 27 minutes long and there is no way you feel those 27 minutes go by. I do not recall ever hearing an American comic to 27 minutes on one thing and be able to only to make you laugh from beginning to end but be able to get you into his or her world as if it was your very own. This track is one of those “How did he know that about me?” moments.
The other tracks are okay when you compare them to your standard brilliant Cosby material but Cosby tells a funny story on each of these tracks. The “best of the rest” as it where are “The Conflict” and “The Losers” where Bill’s family takes center stage.
Bill Cosby’s To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With is, as mentioned herein above is another Cosby comedy CD you can safely share with your children and enjoy with them. Check out our Bill Cosby comedy download page
