Kinky Friedman

Kinky Friedman’s first full album of new material in four decades Circus Of Life could easily be called The Matlock Tapes. It all started with a call from Willie Nelson, who asked Kinky what he was doing at that moment. Kinky answered that he was watching Matlock, to which Willie replied, “That is a sure sign of depression, Kinky. Turn Matlock off and start writing.” Kinky did just that and wrote twelve brand new songs, some of the best he’s ever written. With a host of radio friendly cuts, such as standouts Autographs In The Rain and Copper Love, Circus Of Life, by way of Matlock, via Willie, brings a whole new Kinky to the table. The second act has begun, and it’s all on the high wire.
