Review

Jeff Foxworthy attempted to expand his recorded repertoire with Crank It Up: The Music Album. The record was the first time he tried to make an album that didn't rely on redneck jokes. Don't worry, though -- there's still plenty of humor here. It's just mixed in with competent neo-traditionalist honky tonk and slick new country. Though there's nothing particularly promising about the music, it isn't bad, and Crank It Up: The Music Album is far from the disaster it could have been. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide

Crank It Up: The Music Album is the first musical album recorded by Jeff Foxworthy. The album features many of Foxworthy's skits set to music, primarily with choruses sung by other musicians. Two comedy sketches, "S. I. N. G. L. E." and "Still More You Might Be a Redneck If…", are also featured.

"Redneck Stomp", "Redneck Games", "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas", and "'Twas the Night After Christmas" all charted on the Hot Country Songs charts between 1995 and 1996. "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas" was the highest-charting, reaching #18 in early 1996 and re-charting several times for each subsequent Christmas until 2000.
