Tim Slagle "Europa" (SUR 026, 2006) If this had been released as an empty CD case it would have been a release that marked Stand Up! as a truly successful, impressive label, as this cover has an original Jack Davis portrait of Slagle gracing it. Thus Tim is an legit a novelty recording artist as Homer & Jethro, Spike Jones, Bob & Ray, and Crazy Otto (not to mention Johnny Cash, the Cowsills, and so many others). Considering that Slagle's delivery and style brings to mind the eara of Alan Sherman and Stan Freberg (delivered with a voice that sounds a little like Snagglepuss), this is classic all around!
