"It's not very often this generation gets a chance to experience a real old-school R&B show. Thank God Rudy Ray Moore is still around to show 'em how it's done.
Until I saw this video I was only familiar with his stand-up routine and his movies. The singing came as quite a pleasant surprise. The guy can really carry a tune, and has a hell of a voice! He performs some old R&B standards and a few songs from a pair of cds he released a couple of years ago, both of which I now own.
The comedy routines are classic Rudy Ray, which, in my opinion, is just the coolest thing on Earth. The songs and the comedy just sort of drift into each other in an effortless fashion. Leading the band is Jimmy Lynch, who reminds me of Bo Diddly's sidekick Jerome, if anybody remembers back that far.
Rudy Ray Moore may be the last of his kind, but even if he wasn't he'd still be one of the best."
