single 1 date = 1997Here’s Your Sign is the debut comedy album of
Bill Engvall . After years of success doing different comedic acts, Engvall released a CD of his material, including his most famous bit (which his debut album was named after). After peaking within the top-5 on both the Heatseekers and Hot Country Albums charts, as well as the top-50 on the Billboard 200, Engvall saw his career take off as he remains one of the most popular comedians of the past decade.The title for his debut album is an umbrella term for a recurring setup of Engvall's, in which Engvall describes people who ask questions to which the answers should be obvious, and in the process, Engvall shows these people to be stupid. (Engvall's responses to the questions allude to
Al Jaffee 's "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" pieces in the magazine "Mad".) With the tag, "Here's Your Sign", Engvall then metaphorically gives these people a sign declaring their stupidity to the general public.Track listing
