I Got Stoned and I Missed It: The Best from Shel Silverstein 1971-1979 $16.98 Dr. Hook's 1970s brand of country-flavored pop/rock was always at its best with a satirical edge, usually supplied by the songwriting talents of humorist and Playboy cartoonist Shel Silverstein. While it wouldn't be quite correct to call Dr. Hook simply a mouthpiece band, the fact remains that the group's most memorable songs were penned by Silverstein, from "Cover of the Rolling Stone" to "Sylvia's Mother," and with deadly satirical Silverstein tunes like "I Got Stoned and I Missed It" and "Looking for Pussy" in their back pocket, Dr. Hook managed to have it both ways: they scored huge pop hits and got to laugh at it all with a wink and a grin, a maneuver that gave them cultural credence for a time. Raven Records, an Australian reissue label, has assembled a generous, 23-track, single-disc anthology of Dr. Hook's Silverstein canon, and in truth, it makes a better Dr. Hook best-of set than the official best-of collections on the market. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide

The Best of Shel Silverstein: His Words His Songs His Friends $7.98 Shel Silverstein is a hard guy to pin down, which is part of not only his charm, but his genius. He's best known as a children's author, but also was a Playboy cartoonist who couldn't resist a dirty joke. He penned novelty songs, but also could write songs as heart-wrenching as "Silvia's Mother" and "Once More With Feeling." He was also a terrific songwriter who was a bit of an acquired taste as a performer, chiefly due to his hammy delivery. This also meant that his best songs were often best recorded by other artists (he didn't even cut some of his best tunes). All of this means that he's a rather difficult artist to compile, and there has been a significant lack of comps in his catalog prior to Columbia/Legacy's valiant 2005 effort, The Best of Shel Silverstein: His Words His Songs His Friends. This single-disc, 25-track comp is as unwieldy as its title, encompassing a little bit of everything that Silverstein did, from whimsical poems to smutty jokes, funky country to precious folk and silly pop. It has some spoken word tracks, some of his own recordings, and a bunch of cuts by other musicians who not only specialized in covering his songs, but were close friends as well. While this sure does present a nice cross section of his career and gives a good idea of what Silverstein did, it doesn't necessarily make for smooth sailing as a listening experience. As the disc winds between spoken excerpts from A Light in the Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends and songs by Bobby Bare, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, the Irish Rovers, and Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, the album never quite gains momentum. It lurches and lumbers, partially because Silverstein's overheated vocals wind up sounding grating about halfway through the disc. Nevertheless, this is still the recommended place to get acquainted with his work, because the songs by other artists are uniformly wonderful, and their loose, funny performances -- such as the Irish Rovers' "The Unicorn," Bobby Bare's "Marie Lavaux," Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue," Waylon and Willie's "A Couple More Years," and any of the four Dr. Hook songs here, including "Cover of the Rolling Stone" -- are the best ways to appreciate Silverstein's genius as a writer. They'll whet your appetite for other Silverstein recordings, so after you've heard this, get Bobby Bare's Lullabys, Legends and Lies or Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show's I Got Stoned and I Missed It, which is devoted to nothing but Silverstein songs they recorded, or seek out such great Silverstein songs as "25 Minutes to Go" (recorded by Johnny Cash), "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" (Marianne Faithfull), "One's on the Way" (Loretta Lynn), "Mermaid" (Glenn Yarbrough), "Put Another Log on the Fire (Male Chauvinist National Anthem)" (Tompall Glaser), and "Once More With Feeling" (Jerry Lee Lewis) -- all great songs, and all not here. This collection will make you want to hear these songs, even if won't necessarily inspire you to check out other

Playboy's Silverstein Around the World $18.98 Displaying the wit and marvelous drawings that made Shel Silverstein one of the most beloved artists of the century, Playboy's Silverstein Around the World collects and reproduces the twenty-three travel pieces Silverstein created for Playboy between 1957 and 1968.While children and adults alike know Shel Silverstein for his classic books The Giving Tree, A Light in the Attic, and Where the Sidewalk Ends, they may be less aware that Silverstein also created a dazzling series of illustrated comic travelogues published by Hugh M. Hefner in Playboy. Playboy's Silverstein Around the World not only reproduces these fascinating articles in facsimile form, it also provides an introduction with never-before-seen photos and drawings and rare, illuminating biographical detail.Beginning in May 1957 with "Return to Tokyo," the pieces reproduced in this book took Silverstein from Scandinavia to Africa and the Middle East, from Paris and London to Moscow, ending in the summer of 1968 with the two-part epic "Silverstein Among the Hippies." This unique collection is a legacy of the close relationship between Silverstein and Hefner, who saw the great potential of this particular combination of artist and assignment, and the social revolution led by Playboy in the 1950s and 1960s.With its wry, ribald humor and beautifully produced color illustrations, this tableau of the mid-twentieth-century world is sure to please and fascinate Silverstein's millions of fans.

A Boy Named Shel $19.48 Few authors are as beloved as Shel Silverstein. His inimitable drawings and comic poems have become the bedtime staples of millions of children and their parents, but few readers know much about the man behind that wild-eyed, bearded face peering out from the backs of dust jackets.In A Boy Named Shel, Lisa Rogak tells the full story of a life as antic and adventurous as any of his creations. A man with an incurable case of wanderlust, Shel kept homes on both coasts and many places in between---and enjoyed regular stays in the Playboy Mansion. Everywhere he went he charmed neighbors, made countless friends, and romanced almost as many women with his unstoppable energy and never-ending wit. His boundless creativity brought him fame and fortune---neither of which changed his down-to-earth way of life---and his children’s books sold millions of copies. But he was much more than “just” a children’s writer. He collaborated with anyone who crossed his path, and found success in a wider range of genres than most artists could ever hope to master. He penned hit songs like “A Boy Named Sue” and “The Unicorn.” He drew cartoons for Stars & Stripes and got his big break with Playboy. He wrote experimental plays and collaborated on scripts with David Mamet. With a seemingly unending stream of fresh ideas, he worked compulsively and enthusiastically on a wide array of projects up until his death, in 1999. Drawing on wide-ranging interviews and in-depth research, Rogak gives fans a warm, enlightening portrait of an artist whose imaginative spirit created the poems, songs, and drawings that have touched the lives of so many children---and adults.
