The Loneliest Man I Ever Met

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.
