Got Tallent?5
The title of this should be "Just Showin Off Cause I Can. This is one twisted, funny, and tallented individual.

Not only is he funny; he's an amazing guitarist as well!5
By chance, I caught a "showcase" by Mike Rayburn at a music conference and figured I'd give him a look over. For the next - all too brief - 20 minutes, Mike had me rolling off my chair with laughter. This guy knows his pop culture inside and out! But between the laughter from his oddball pairings of country and heavy metal (Dan Folgelberg sings AC/DC) he performs some amazing music using just the fret board on his guitar. ("Bele Chere" on this CD is an example - though you can't SEE him doing this.).

Make's also a very funny comedian and how he remembers all the line is "Questions" still astounds me.

Anyway, I got this CD so I could experience Mike's whole show - beyond the 20 minutes I experienced - and loved it. Sure there are visuals that are missing (Mike has DVDs of his show - basically the same as the Carnegie Hall gig - for sale on his website). But most of the fun is on this CD. Though you probably won't play the introductions to the songs as much, the CD allows you to program just the songs.

Mike is "classically trained" and has some non-comedy CDs out as well which I plan to pursue. I definitely want to hear more of the fabulous finger work he demonstrates on the album.

If you grew up on music of the 1970s - no matter what style - you'll love this CD. And you'll find your self one of "Mike's people".

"Anything Phonographic"

enjoyable, but a little disappointing4
I heard the cut "Hang the Jury" on XM Comedy while driving and ordered it as soon as I got home. I expected most of the other 23 cuts listed to be just as good. Some of them are but a couple of cuts are just introductions or segues and some are more Rayburn talking about how clever and musically talented he is instead of just playing more to show how clever and talented he truly is.
