Loud! is a raw and virtually unedited studio recording of Mike Magnuson reading selections from Lummox: the Evolution of a Man. This is the big man himself, reading in his full-blown Cheesehead dialect, which is by turns growly, beer-soaked, cigarette-stained, euphonious and downright delicate, a voice that has been heard in taverns and bookstores and universities throughout the country but has only now been recorded and made available for the general public. On Loud! Mike performs the hilarious opening section of Lummox, and the funny but disturbing group-home story called "Clarence," and the wet-your-pants insanity of "Scenes from a Lesbian Summer." Loud! is a CD you can listen to again and again, and you’ll get fresh new laughs every time.
