...while other interpretations do a decent job of simply imitating Cash's dry, soothing tones. Most of the renditions on the collection, however, are just plain random, running the gamut from the grunge rock/heavy metal chords of The Staggers' "Cry, Cry, Cry" to the zydeco twang of How's Bayou's "Johnny Yuma." The album simply jumps from one sort of sound to another with no transition, and the end result can only be called jarring.

...seen Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and the recurring "S.N.L." skit "Canteen Boy," then you can piece together Sandler's stupid, H2O obsessed, bayou-bred mama's boy Bobby Bouchet. Bobby has been relentlessly tormented all of his life by the University of Lousiana football players to whom he unwaveringly delivers "cold, clear, liquid goodness." In the opening scene, Bobby demonstrates his occupational dedication by distilling and purifying every drop of water, which he distributes to the players with a contraption reminiscent of the Ghostbusters' particle-beam backpacks. The waterboy is fired after Coach Red (Jerry Reed) decides that the players...
