Barry Poole (born December 18, 1964, in Marietta, Georgia) is an American country music artist who records underthe name Cledus T. Judd. Known primarily for his parodies of popular country music songs, he has been called the"Weird Al" Yankovic of country music, and his albums are usually an equal mix of original comedy songs andparodies. Judd has released nine studio albums and two EPs, and several of their singles have entered the BillboardHot Country Songs charts. His highest chart peak is the #48 "I Love NASCAR", a parody of Toby Keith's 2003single "I Love This Bar".

Musical career

1995-1999Cledus T. Judd released his debut album, Cledus T. Judd (No Relation), on Razor & Tie Records in 1995, the "(NoRelation)" part of the title being a reference to Wynonna and Naomi Judd.[1] Two non-country parodies were alsoincluded on this album: one of the Eagles' "Hotel California", and one of "We Are the World", a 1980s charity singlecredited to USA for Africa. Judd's parody, entitled "We Own the World", satirized the marriage of Lisa MariePresley and Michael Jackson.I Stoled This Record followed in 1996. This album, despite not producing a chart single, earned RIAA goldcertification for shipping 500,000 copies. This album included parodies of two Shania Twain songs: "(If You're Notin It for Love) I'm Outta Here!" became "(I'm Not in It for Love) Just Yer Beer" and "Any Man of Mine" became "IfShania Was Mine." John Michael Montgomery's "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)" was parodied twiceon this album.His third album, Did I Shave My Back for This? (a take-off on Deana Carter's Did I Shave My Legs for This?)included his first duet, with Buck Owens on the original track "First Redneck on the Internet." The album alsoparodied Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, and Mindy McCready.[1]

1998's Juddmental was his final album for Razor & Tie. It included a duet, this time with Daryle Singletary on"Ricky Tidwell's Momma's Gonna Play Football", a non-parody song previously recorded by Tim Wilson. Thisalbum once again parodied a Twain song, with her "Honey, I'm Home" becoming "Shania, I'm Broke." The GarthBrooks/Trisha Yearwood duet "In Another's Eyes" was also parodied on this compilation.

2000-2005After leaving Razor & Tie Records, Judd signed to Monument Records Nashville in 2000 to release his fifth album,Just Another Day in Parodies. This album produced his first chart single in "My Cellmate Thinks I'm Sexy", aparody of Kenny Chesney's 1999 single "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" which referenced Chesney's and McGraw's2000 arrest for stealing a Mounted Reserve officer's horse. The parody charted at #61 on Billboard Hot CountrySingles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs). Following this song was another chart single, "How Do You Milk aCow" (based on Toby Keith's "How Do You Like Me Now?!"), which peaked at #67. In 2002, he released CledusEnvy, followed later that year by a Christmas album entitled Cledus Navidad. At the end of the year, Judd also madean appearance in the music video for Keith's "Who's Your Daddy?".His last release for Monument was a six-song EP called A Six Pack of Judd, released in 2003. After Monumentclosed its Nashville division, he signed to Koch Records Nashville to release a second EP, the four-song TheOriginal Dixie Hick, later in 2003. This release, which contained parodies pertaining to the Dixie Chicks, alsoproduced his third chart single in "Martie, Natalie and Emily (The Continuing Saga Of)", a parody of Brad Paisley's"Celebrity".Judd's final release for Koch was 2004's Bipolar and Proud. This album produced two more chart singles for him,including his highest-peaking, the #48 "I Love NASCAR", which parodied Keith's "I Love This Bar" and includedguest vocals from Keith himself. Following this song was the #58 "Bake Me A Country Ham", based on TracyLawrence's "Paint Me a Birmingham".

2006-presentBy mid-2005, Judd had announced plans to release a tribute album to Ray Stevens entitled Boogity, Boogity - ATribute to the Comedic Genius of Ray Stevens, containing covers of Stevens's material with several guest vocalists.Due to the closure of Koch's Nashville division, however, this album was delayed until 2007, when Judd signed toAsylum-Curb Records and released it in August. Shortly before its release, he made his sixth chart appearance withthe non-album song "Illegals".Judd re-signed to Koch in 2009, after the label was renamed E1 Music. In January of that year, he released the single"Waitin' on Obama" (a parody of Brad Paisley's "Waitin' on a Woman") referencing Barack Obama's election asPresident of the United States.[2] [3] This is the first single from Judd's latest album, Polyrically Uncorrect, releasedon June 30. Its second single is "Garth Must Be Busy", a parody of Brooks & Dunn's "God Must Be Busy" whichfeatures Brooks & Dunn as guest vocalists. Its third single is "(If I Had) Kellie Pickler's Boobs".

Radio and television workJudd has toured as an emcee with such acts as Brooks and Dunn, Brad Paisley, Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, the DixieChicks, Shania Twain, and Montgomery Gentry. Judd's television work includes a stint as the co-host of CMT MostWanted Live from 2002 to 2004 and as a "special correspondent" on the 2005 season of Nashville Star. Additionally,he was one of the featured contestants on Season Five of VH1's reality show Celebrity Fit Club.He also hosted the Cledus T. Party Morning Show for WQYK in Tampa, Florida. In January 2008, he returned toAtlanta as the morning host at 94.9/The Bull, WUBL.

Musical styleJudd has been called the "Weird" Al Yankovic of country music.[4] Judd's albums typically contain a mix of parodysongs and original songs. His parodies are often topical in nature, such as "My Cellmate Thinks I'm Sexy", a parodyof Kenny Chesney's "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" which addressed Chesney's and Tim McGraw's 2000 arrestafter stealing a Mounted Reserve deputy's horse,[5] or "Waitin' on Obama", which he released shortly before U.S.president Barack Obama took office.
