Шаблон:Infobox album Humour Me is an album by the American-Canadian musician Jesse Winchester, released in 1988.[1][2] It was his first album in seven years.[3] Humour Me was nominated for a Juno Award, in the "Best Roots or Traditional Album" category.[4]

"Well-A-Wiggy" had been a minor hit for the Weather Girls.[5]

Production

Winchester preferred to play live or to work as a songwriter; his manager and Sugar Hill Records head encouraged him to record again.[6] Produced by Winchester, the album was recorded in Nashville.[7][8] Jerry Douglas played dobro on the album; Dave Pomeroy, Jim Horn, and Béla Fleck also contributed.[9][10][11][12]

Critical reception

Шаблон:Album ratings The Globe and Mail panned the "romantic cliche and kitschy arrangements."[9] The Toronto Star wrote: "Warm, lean, smooth, the singer's voice is a marvellous, communicative instrument, never overwhelmed by fancy arrangements or star instrumentalists."[13] The Windsor Star considered "Too Weak to Say Goodbye" to be the album's best song.[14]

The Washington Post called the album "strictly mid-level stuff," but conceded that it was "nevertheless chock-full of songs that combine insinuating melodies and rhythms with tender sentiments so deftly handled that they never sound as trite as they might appear on paper."[15] The Ottawa Citizen stated that the music ranges from "earthy front porch blues and cafe folk to the odd lounge lizard croon."[16]

AllMusic wrote that "Humour Me lacked the depth of Winchester's best work, but it was easily on a par with his substantial body of craftsmanlike music of the mid-'70s ... His voice remained warm and supple."[17]
