Product Description

Boy Named Sue is Silverstein's sixth album overall and his first for RCA, originally released in 1969. Featuring the classic title track, probably his most well known and covered song, which was made into a giant hit by Johnny Cash soon after. Country songs that are at turns sentimental, tongue-in-cheek, genuine, and slyly lewd. Recorded at RCA studios in Music City, USA and produced by Shel's friend, the legendary Chet Atkins, this could very well have been the strangest thing to come out of Nashville since Blonde On Blonde. Another classic from the idiosyncratic genius on CD for the first time.

Uncle Shelby in his own voice
By Theodore H. Quock
Anybody who isn't aware that "The Unicorn," "The Giving Tree," "A Boy Named Sue," "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out" and "Sylvia's Mother" were all written by the same person should really get this album. Only one of those songs is on it, but the combination of Shel Silverstein's songwriting and his unique voice (acquired taste though it may be for some) should prove irresistible. It's a shame there was such a gross imbalance between his written work and his recorded work that was available on CD at the time of his death in 1999, but better late than never. For the uninitiated, not that much of Silverstein's juvenile material was covered by other artists (Peter, Paul & Mary and Johnny Cash both recorded "Boa Constrictor"), but his more adult stuff paid a lot of bills for the likes of Bobby Bare (alone and in the Old Dogs), Dr. Hook & His Medicine Show, and of course the Man in Black. A must for those who love any combination of catchy songs, children's songs, bawdy songs, satirical songs, road songs, and message songs.

Meet the unpredictable.
By Johnny Heering
Songwriter Shel Silverstein was allowed to record this album after his song "A Boy Named Sue" became a monster hit for Johnny Cash. Shel does his own version of "Boy Named Sue" here, as well as 11 other songs he wrote. The songs are mostly funny type songs, except for the few songs that are serious. If you are a Shel Silverstein fan, you will enjoy this CD.
