Even Stevens

Even Stevens is the third studio album by Ray Stevens, released in 1968. It was also his first album for Monument Records as well as his first studio album in five years, though he previously released four singles for Monument, starting with "ABC" in 1965. Before the release of this album, Stevens concentrated on writing and producing songs for other artists. Despite the album's joking title, it is considered by all media as his first "serious" album, as there are no songs on the album that are in the genres of novelty or comedy. But Stevens never wholly strays away from humor on the album, as evidenced in the songs "The Minority", a re-recorded version of "Funny Man", "Say Cheese", "Mr. Businessman", "Unwind", and "The Great Escape". With the exception of the eighth track, "The Earl of Stilton Square", all the material was written by Stevens himself, though he shares credit with another songwriter for the fourth track, "Say Cheese".
