Question: "Southern Air" featured Ray Stevens, Minnie Pearl and what other Southern comedian?
Context: Ray Stevens...Unreal!!!  was the seventh studio album of Ray Stevens and his second for Barnaby Records, released in 1970.  Two singles ("America, Communicate With Me" and "Sunset Strip") were lifted from the album and were moderately successful on the Hot 100 pop singles chart.  Each single reached the Top-20 on the Billboard Adult-Contemporary chart, indicating that Stevens' appeal, even as early as 1970, lay with the adult music buyers rather than the kids and teenagers.  The tenth track was written by Ray's brother, John Ragsdale. The Best of Ray Stevens is a collection of previously recorded songs by Ray Stevens for Mercury Records, the very first label that Stevens signed with.  It was released in 1968 by a subsidiary of Mercury called Wing Records.  It is not to be confused with the 1967 compilation of the same name.  Unlike most of the collections of Stevens' music, this compilation begins with the serious songs of Stevens.  The back of the album cover contains an essay by Stuart Lewis that describes Stevens' ability to interpret dramatic songs as much as comedic songs.  Lewis' essay begins with comparing this collection with a person, stating that it has two different sides.  Indeed, the first side of the LP contains five of his serious songs, while the second side contains five of his novelty songs. 1,837 Seconds of Humor is the debut album of Ray Stevens, released in 1962.  The front of the album shows a sheik that rides a camel, which is a reference to Stevens' song "Ahab the Arab."  All of the material on the album was written by Ray Stevens and published by Lowery Music Co., Inc. (BMI).  The back of the album cover contains an essay of biographical information of Stevens from his youth in his hometown of Clarkdale, Georgia to the time of this album's release and gives brief descriptions of all the songs on the album.  Four singles were lifted from the album: "Jeremiah Peabody's Poly Unsaturated Quick Dissolving Fast Acting Pleasant Tasting Green and Purple Pills" (his first Top 40 hit), "Scratch My Back (I Love It)" (which failed to chart), "Ahab the Arab" (his major breakthrough hit and his biggest until his 1970 hit "Everything Is Beautiful"), and "Further More." Ray Stevens' Greatest Hits is a collection of songs that Ray Stevens previously recorded for Barnaby and Monument Records from 1968 to 1971.  This marks the first album appearance of Stevens' novelty hit single "Bridget the Midget (The Queen of the Blues)."  This collection contains two more singles from Barnaby while the rest are recordings for Monument (five singles and three album tracks). " Gitarzan" is the album version that begins with noises of an audience.  "Harry the Hairy Ape" and "Ahab the Arab" are not the original recordings but re-recordings that were made for Monument.  "Mr. Businessman" is the album version. 20 Comedy Hits is a collection of previously recorded songs by Ray Stevens, released in 1995.  The first, third, fourth and fifth tracks were included through the courtesy of Barnaby Records, for whom Stevens recorded during the early seventies.  The selection of "Shriner's Convention" is a live version that was taken from the album "Ray Stevens Live!" " Gitarzan" is the album version that begins with audience noises, and "Ahab the Arab" is a re-recording of his 1962 hit for his album "Gitarzan" (released in 1969).  The remaining tracks are selections that were recorded for Curb Records; of these selections, only two were released as singles ("Super Cop" and "The Motel Song") and the rest served as album cuts.  The sixth to ninth tracks were taken from the album "Classic Ray Stevens", the tenth to thirteenth tracks from "#1 With a Bullet", and the last seven from "Lend Me Your Ears".  Overall, it is not completely accurate to include the word "hits" in the title of this compilation, as it contains only seven songs that were previously released as singles and five of the seven made true impact on the charts. Losin' Streak is Ray Stevens' ninth studio album and his fourth for Barnaby Records, released in 1973.  The second track is a re-recording of one of Stevens' songs that was included on his second album, "This Is Ray Stevens" (1963).  Cover versions include the Everly Brothers' hit "Bye Bye Love" and singer/songwriter Freddie Hart's hit "Easy Lovin'."  Both the album and the title track (the album's sole single) unfortunately failed to chart. This Is Ray Stevens is the second album by Ray Stevens.  It was released in 1963 by Mercury Records on the catalog numbers of MG 20828 (Mono LP) and MG 60828 (Stereo LP).  Like Stevens' previous album, "1,837 Seconds of Humor", all of the songs were written by Ray Stevens and published by Lowery Music Company, Inc. (BMI).  The differences between both albums is that Stevens makes an attempt to prove his artistic versatility on this album by including six comical novelty songs and six ballads of serious music. Surely You Joust was Ray Stevens' twenty-third studio album and his third for MCA Records.  The album's front cover shows Stevens disguised as a medieval knight with a horse standing next to him.  The album's back cover shows Stevens in the same costume but in a junk pile with two junk men.  Three singles were lifted from the album: "Southern Air" (featuring Jerry Clower and Minnie Pearl, whom Ray says are his "good friends"), "People's Court", and "Can He Love You Half as Much as I", the last of which did not chart. The Very Best of Ray Stevens is a collection of 12 previously released singles that were hits for novelty/country artist, Ray Stevens; it was released in December 1975 by Barnaby Records.  While this collection has more emphasis on Stevens' hits for Barnaby, it also contains three from the label of Monument Records ("Unwind," "Mr. Businessman," and "Gitarzan") and two from Mercury Records (Stevens' first label).  The version of "Mr. Businessman" is the single release. " Gitarzan" is the album version that begins with an audience cheering and applauding. " Ahab the Arab" is the original recording that was released by Mercury (Stevens had re-recorded the song for his album "Gitarzan" in 1969). Howard Gerald "Jerry" Clower (September 28, 1926 – August 24, 1998) was an American comedian.  Born and raised in the Southern United States, Clower was best known for his stories of the rural South and was given the nickname "The Mouth of Mississippi".
Answer: Jerry Clower
