Cledus T. Judd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barry Poole (born December 18, 1964, in Marietta, Georgia) is a country music singer, parody artist and entertainer best known by his stage name Cledus T. Judd (No Relation) (implying he is not related to The Judds) or often just Cledus T. Judd. Best known for parodies of popular country songs, Judd is sometimes called the "Weird Al" Yankovic of country music, and like Yankovic's, his albums are usually an equal mix of original comedy songs and parodies.

Recently Judd has toured as an emcee with various acts such as Brooks and Dunn, Brad Paisley, Trace Adkins, and Montgomery Gentry.

Judd's television work includes a stint as the co-host of CMT Most Wanted Live from 2002 to 2004 and as a "special correspondent" on the 2005 season of Nashville Star.
