cledus t.judd簡介：Cledus T. Judd 在鄉村音樂屆里以滑稽拙劣地模仿著名的鄉村歌曲然后在自己演唱之前給其冠以一個可笑的名字而出名。 Country musics answer to Weird Al Yankovic, Cledus T. Judd had a similar approach to song parody, recording backing tracks that were as similar as possible to the original versions. Like Yankovic, he also recorded some original material, but parodies of recent country hits were his bread and butter; also like Yankovic, a Judd parody came to be regarded as a badge of honor by many of the artists he reworked. Judd made his bow in 1995 with the Razor & Tie album Cledus T. Judd (No Relation), a billing that made clear his lack of connection to Wynonna and Naomi. His breakthrough set was the follow-up, 1996s I Stoled This Record, which established his long-running preoccupation with Shania Twain — not only did he transform her If Youre Not in It for Love (Im Outta Here) into Im Not in Here for Love (Just Yer Beer), he also recorded the original If Shania Was Mine and had her guest (along with Joe Diffie) on (Shes Got a Butt) Bigger Than the Beatles. Did I Shave My Back for This?, the title cut a parody of Deana Carter, followed in 1998, also featuring redone material from Brooks & Dunn and Tracy Lawrence, among others. 1999s Juddmental saw him branching out into pop with a Ricky Martin parody as well as a Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines send-up and another ode to Twain, Shania Im Broke.Judds albums werent blockbusters, but they sold consistently enough to earn him a major-label contract with Sonys revived Monument imprint. His 2000 major-label debut, Just Another Day in Parodies, skewered material by the Dixie Chicks, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, and even Kid Rock. The follow-up, 2002s Cledus Envy, offered parodies of Faith Hill and Billy Gilman as well as O Brother, Where Art Thou?s Man of Constant Sorrow. Later that year, Judd issued his first holiday album, Cledus Navidad. He returned in 2003 with the mini-album Six Pack of Judd. In 2004 he moved to the Koch label and released Bipolar & Proud. Koch soon closed their Nashville division, right as Judd was about to release his tribute to novelty giant Ray Stevens. The album, Boogity Boogity, finally appeared in 2007 on the Curb label.
