Alan Cumming: I Bought a Blue Car Today

Being a blogger can be a rewarding experience. Media companies find you and offer you free stuff to review. Some of it is crap, some are truly gems. It was through this means that I was introduced to the great Patty Griffin.

When Alan Cumming's I Bought a Blue Car Today arrived in my mailbox, I was intrigued. I first noticed Alan Cumming as Fegan Floop from a Spy Kids movie. "It's a Cool Cruel World" always intrigued me.

Before the peanut gallery roasts me for being an idiot, I am fully aware that Alan Cumming is a Tony Award winning performer. Just because I am from the South and have an extreme love for football, does not make me a cultural retard. I have seen many of his stage performances on YouTube and they are quite awe inspiring.

With that said, I have been playing Alan Cumming's CD in my SUV for the last three days. My first impression: WOW! You can really detect his Scottish accent on the CD!

Whereas I may be a talentless whore, Alan Cumming is not. He has quite the beautiful voice. There is a passion to his singing that is quite awe inspiring. My favorite songs on the CD are: WIG IN A BOX/WICKED LITTLE TOWN, DON'T TELL ME, WHERE I WANT TO BE, and MEIN HEIR.

Hearing Alan sing Dolly Parton's Here You Come Again will have you in stiches. If you are like me, you have heard Dolly's version a million times. Hearing it with a Scottish accent will make you chuckle. In comparison, I am sure my twangy voice on any song would elicit the same response.
