The Terry Bradshaw LP

Boopotts

I recently discovered that Herr Bradshaw released an album of love ballads in the late '70's. Obviously I'm going to have to buy it (there's a copy on Ebay right now, and I'm not sure I've sufficiently prepared myself to buy this yet, but a purchase is certainly forthcoming), but I need to know-- has anyone here ever listened to it? And just how bad is it?

Wow, I had no idea this existed. I must have it. There's no way it's this bad though- Mentally prepare yourself then click this link.

Jesus Christ-- Now and then, if you're lucky, you have a moment that will change you forever. I think I just had one.

I gotta give the credit to Bill Simmons, a columnist on ESPN.com's Page 2. He writes some of the funniest sh*t you'll ever read. He included this link in his last article.

If I'm reading this correctly, this album also has a 'Christain theme'? Is that true? Because if that's true this album has immediately vaulted into my upper realm of high camp.

No! Is that really Shatner doing Mr. Tamourine Man?

I remember him playing "A Quarterback Who Got A Dollar Back" on some NFL pre-game show in the late '70s or early 80's.

Horrific.

Who are the marketing wizards that decided all Shatner had to do was speak the lyrics of songs and they would sell? How does this take talent? "........ and I'm gonna beeeeeeeeeeee HIIIIIIIGH........ as a kite by then." What the hell is that? The best part is that people clapped at the end like he actually did something.

I think Shatner also does an amazing version of Rocketman. Simply electric.

here guys, i stole this from the internet:

Bradshaw quarterbacked the Pittsburgh Steelers to victory in Super Bowls IX, X, XIII, and XIV and just after his first world title, he recorded the country album I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, released in 1976 on Mercury. His live singing debut took place at the famed Palomino Club in North Hollywood, CA. Just before his performance, Bradshaw was standing in the wings motionless, expressionless, with eyes glazed over, awaiting his introduction and looking as though he was about to dash out of a tunnel onto a gridiron. The spectacle attracted all of the major local television crews who surrounded the small stage with a barrage of lights, cameras, and technicians, making it virtually impossible for the audience to see the show. Upon taking the stage, his backup band began playing the intro to his opening song, but the words wouldn't come for what seemed an eternity. The band repeated the intro over and over, then finally, to everyone's relief, he eventually gained enough composure to proceed and launched into the title song. Bradshaw's cover of Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" was beginning to pick up significant airplay by this time and shortly thereafter was certified a Top Ten hit by Billboard Magazine. But the mood during Bradshaw's performance seemed to indicate that the house was filled with those who came to see the football player, not the country & western singer. The show lasted 15-20 minutes, then Bradshaw was quickly ushered to his dressing room, which was adorned with fan paraphernalia and flower arrangements, the most conspicuous: a large, elaborate floral wreath from Burt Reynolds.

Bradshaw came out with another single, "You Never Know How Good You Got It 'til You Ain't Got It No More," in collaboration with Glen Campbell, then later during the mid-'90s he would record a Christmas album, called Terry Bradshaw Sings Christmas Songs for the Whole World. This was not his proudest accomplishment. Clearly, Bradshaw does not define himself as a singer, but a football player who enjoyed singing in the choir since childhood, only to enter the recording profession on a bet hedged by his fame as a Super Bowl victor. ~ Tom Kealey, All Music Guide

not sure how to make that into a functional link, but you can actually purchase cheap downloads of most bradshaw songs here so you can see if he meets your musical standards before you buy it.. i'd grab it if i was you, some people have it on their "want it now" list so it must be tough to find... good luck! let us know if it sucks as bad as we would anticipate!

and even better: yes - they were christian songs.. some of the titles available for download are "When He Was on the Cross (I Was on His Mind)", "My Room of Prayer", "I Just Feel Like Something Good Is About to Happen", "The Savior I Sing of Today", "If the Lord Wasn't Walking by My Side"... these are from the album Terry & Jake, featuring some guy that has enough hair to make up for terry, even if it is polyester..

rudely, the average listener gave them 1 star out of 5 possible..

The link below contains album art..
note to Jake of Terry & Jake fame: nice rug, dude!
