She sang professionally for well over 20 years until about 5 years ago. I knew of her former rock & blues band, "The Johnny Carlton Band featuring Claire Poole" (my wife), that toured clubs and resorts in the South and had heard their CD's. They were really good, and she's recorded with a who's who of famous Southern Rock musicians. However, I did not know until last night that she recorded two CD's with Darryl Rhoades. I had never heard of him before. Apparently he had/has a musical comedy show that dates back to the mid-70's. After listening to those CD's, he is a very wide ranging talent. Very cool music.
But, as I said, Darryl Rhoades had a comedy show, and apparently he had a bad review and unwelcome reception in Arkansas. In retaliation he recorded, "Arkansas, The Musical". It is funny as ****. Stereotypical stuff that likes to poke fun at Southern Culture. It's specifically targeted towards Arkansas.
Claire sang lead female vocals on this track.
I normally like to defend Southern Culture, but this is just too funny not to share. Plus, my wife's lines in the song are hilarious ... (She was voted Arkansas Boll Weevil Queen, Most Likely to Suck Seed), and other gems.
I'm including the only other song she has worked on that I can find on-line, another Darryl Rhoades tune called, "Caffiene". Her backing vocals are pretty cool on this one. I'm sure all you coffee lovers will enjoy this short and catchy-tune.
And with that, I present you the funniest thing you'll see and hear all day. "Arkansas The Musical"
Caffiene
