The Credibility Gap were the unsung heroes among 70s comedy troupes.
Starting as a group of newsmen doing humorous commentary for the Los
Angeles AM rock radio station KRLA in the late 1960s, as the more
news-oriented members departed they were replaced by comedians. By 1971
the classic lineup of Richard Beebe, David L. Lander, Michael McKean,
and Harry Shearer had coalesced. Between broadcasts that year they
recorded the album "Woodschtick and More" for Capitol Records. Drawing
on the coincidence of Woodstock's having taken place in the Catskills,
the album reimagines the rock festival as a Borsch Belt tummlers'
convention. It was all a little too "inside" showbiz for the folks at
'Rolling Stone' whose negative review served as the album's kiss of
death. Though the album is admittedly somewhat uneven, it includes some
very funny bits. ~WFMU
