The Loneliest Man I Ever Met

• Track Listing

Kinky Friedman has reinvented himself yet again, this time with his first all new studio album in nearly forty years. Kinky, with the extraordinary help of producer Brian Molnar, 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 rendered covers of such artists as Tom Waits, Warren Zevon, 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.
