Burt Reynolds Made an Album

Sometimes when a celebrity's at the height of fame and fortune, the praise can be so momentous that they're convinced making an album is a good idea.

Such is the case with Burt Reynolds' in 1973 and the resulting album was "Ask Me What I Am." 


It's very much of-its-time, with the Folk-Country talk-singing style. With titles such as:
  • The First One That I Lay With
  • She's Taken A Gentle Lover
  • I Didn't Shake The World Today
  • There's A Slight Misunderstanding Between God And Man
  • I Like Having You Around
Is it like Neil Diamond? You bet your balls it's like Neil Diamond!

The thing is, though: I don't hate it. It's actually pretty charming. 

For a complete "analysis" of the album check out the podcast "Billion Dollar Record Club" and their episode about it here.
