Inside The Mind Of Bill Cosby Review

07/13/2005 6:53 AM, AMG


By the time 1972 rolled around, Bill Cosby was big news; with an ultra-popular standup career, a few TV shows under his belt, and a couple more on the go, it seemed he could go nowhere but up. This release features Cosby in front of yet another appreciative crowd doing short standup bits, but unlike the earlier and more inventive bits, this shows Cosby in a bit of a rut. There are husbands versus wives parts 12 and 13, kids versus parents parts five through eight, and Cosby versus strange food and various bits of anatomy. Even if he spends much of the album re-exploring familiar themes, it's still quite funny. ~ Sean Carruthers, All Music Guide
