Outrageous and irreverent but nearly always thought-provoking, Kinky Friedman wrote and performed satirical country songs during the '70s and has been hailed as the Frank Zappa of country music. He has written for Rolling Stone and Texas Monthly magazines and, most famously, has become a writer of unique and outrageous mystery novels. Many of Friedman's songs of the '70s and early '80s were collected on two CD compilations, Old Testaments and New Revelations ('94) and From One Good American to Another ('95). In '99, the likes of Willie Nelson, Tom Waits, and Lyle Lovett covered Friedman's music on the tribute album, Pearls in the Snow: The Songs of Kinky Friedman. In '03 Friedman appeared in a nude, cigar-smoking triplicate on the cover of the Dallas Observer magazine, in a parody of the Dixie Chicks' nude Entertainment Weekly pose of that year.
