Friedman hat sich
wieder einmal neu
erfunden, dieses Mal
mit seinem ersten neuens Studioalbum in fast vierzig Jahren.

einmal, dass er nicht nur ein guter Geschichtenerzähler ist,
sondern auch ein guter Interpret. Ein sehr gutes, sehr
persönliches Album. — (2015/Avenue A Records) 12 tracks.
Kinky Friedman has reinvented himself yet again, this time with
hisfirstallnewstudioalbum innearlyfortyyears.Kinky,with the
extraordinary help of producer BrianMolnar, guitarist Joe Cirotti,
and former Texas Jewboy pianist Little Jewford, presents an all
new Kinky, with his album, The Loneliest Man I Ever Met. Filled
with never-heard-before Kinky originals and beautifully
renderedcoversofsuchartistsasTomWaits,WarrenZevon,and
Willie Nelson, this new CD is all about Kinky s ultimate ability to
deliver much more than just a funny line or humorous tune. The
spare, yet lush arrangements all point up Kinky’s unique talent
as both a songwriter and interpreter of great material. Guest
performers Nelson, his sister Bobbie, bassist Kevin Smith, and
uber mouth harpist Mickey Raphael support with appearances
but never override the simplicity and grace of the tunes and the
artist himself. In a career filled with wondrously successful
adventures, Kinky Friedman has never put forth something so
personal as The Loneliest Man I Ever Met.
