An all-star cast has come together to celebrate the songs written by legendary Texas author, musician, cigar smoker and friend, Kinky Friedman.
Riding high on his literary success, which includes eleven highly acclaimed mystery novels, and with the help of producer Kacey Jones and a few notorious friends, Kinkajou Records releases a stunning collection called "Pearls in the Snow, The Songs of Kinky Friedman."
"Pearls in the Snow" is a 17-cut set from an astonishing mix of fine vocalists who breathe new life into these chestnuts. Until you hear this well-chosen collection of interpretations, you may not realize just how finely crafted Kinky's lyrics are.
This collector's item also includes several reunion performances by Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jewboys and comes with a 20 page CD booklet complete with lyrics, photos of guest artists and liner notes by the one and only Captain Midnight. The cover photo was taken by nationally syndicated morning radio shock-jock, Don Imus.
Over four million fans worldwide have purchased Kinky's novels. They already know what a talented author he is. Now they'll have a chance to discover what a great, and important, songwriter he is.
