Reverend Billy C. Wirtz
's
Sermon from Bethlehem
(which was recorded at a live concert in Bethlehem, PA) is consistently hilarious.
Wirtz
's lyric writing and ability to put across his jokes make him seem like a
rock & roll
Dave Frishberg
. Despite the religious allusions,
's subject matter ranges pretty wide, including toleration of others, a very witty allusion to his problems with women of all occupations, a tribute to his grandmother (who, according to the story, died while yelling at a televised wrestling show), and two songs that star
Elvis Presley
. A fine
boogie-woogie
and
blues
pianist and an excellent singer,
is quite entertaining and well worth discovering. ~ Scott Yanow
