Brimming with his rich humor, Jerry Clower's book manifests the
unsurpassed southern art of yarn spinning. It shows as well the
nature of the man for whom good storytelling is more than just show
business.
Nashville's funniest man had a serious side. Deep in the merry
heart of this comic entertainer were the codes and values that made
him an esteemed humanitarian.
He was named America's best country comic for nine years in a
row and was called "the funniest American storyteller since Will
Rogers" and "the Mouth of the Mighty Mississippi." This boisterous,
down-home man's loving, extroverted manner and his forthright
display of positive feelings for others arose from the substance of
sober, rock-solid regional values he gained from maturing in the
rural South. "Stories from Home" embraces both Jerry Clowers, the
funny man and the serious man, and shows his anecdotal humor in the
mainstream of the South's great oral tradition of folktales and
narratives.
Jerry Clower's hilarious stories about possum hunting, coon
dogs, and the rambunctious Ledbetter clan were standards in his
stage routines, videos, and albums. In "Stories from Home" many of
his fans' favorite Clower tales are included. Here, too, is a long
interview in which he explored his beliefs and tells how he gained
firm convictions about race, religion, education, and family as
well as an intolerance of negativism.
