Kinky Friedman

Kinky Friedman is a Texas-born singer-songwriter, humorist, and author known for his sharp wit, satirical country songs, and larger-than-life persona. Emerging in the 1970s with his band, Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys, he made a name for himself with irreverent, politically incorrect lyrics and a unique blend of country, folk, and storytelling. Songs like "They Ain’t Makin’ Jews Like Jesus Anymore" showcased his biting social commentary and offbeat sense of humor.

Beyond music, Friedman has enjoyed a successful career as a novelist and political figure, even running for governor of Texas in 2006. His writing, often in the form of detective novels, carries the same distinctive blend of humor and grit found in his music. With a career spanning decades and a cult following, Kinky Friedman remains a beloved figure in the world of Americana and country music.
