Exceedingly Strange Brew

Rick Moranis has recorded a country and bluegrass album full of his own original songs.

Yeah, seriously.

No, for real. Rick Moranis. The SCTV guy. If you'll all recall the movie version of the Little Shop of Horrors musical, Rick sang all his own songs in there. He doesn't exactly have what I'd call a beautiful voice, but his vocal stylings aren't as embarrassing as, say, the dirtbag husband of a certain former pop icon.

It's just weird to hear this nerdy guy from New York, famous for being 1/2 of the Mackenzie Brothers and starring in some classic 80's comedies (Hello? Ghostbusters?), singing goofy country music.

And the songs are pretty goofy, at least the two they have available online. One is actually a parody of that old Johnny Cash "I've Been Everywhere" song. What can I say? Rick's really got his finger on the pulse.
