In the lead up to Tracy Morgans first HBO Special ‘Black and Blue’ which airs this weekend, here’s the audio-book ‘I Am The New Black’ from last year. If you know anything about Morgan, youll know he’s 100% loose.

Alot of celebrity types are, as we say back home in Ireland, ‘Up their own jaxy’, this man is far from one of them. Tracy Morgan is a humble spirit, someone that grew up with very little who now has alot, and is truly grateful for all the love he’s received on his way to the top. If you dont know his material, do the research, he’s way more than the token black guy on 30Rock, he’s way more than the unpredictable character that shows his belly off in live interviews and pretends to be out of it, ostensibly, he’s a legend already, and we dont chuck those kind of terms around lightly.
I Am the New Black is fascinating, it’s touching and brutally honest, it’s emotionally charged and most importantly, funny as all hell when it needs to be. To hear one of the finest comedians of his time read his life story in his own compelling tone makes for a top listen if indeed ‘that is your bag’…
Loved his character in 30 Rock. I’ll make sure I grab this. Cheers, Craig!
