He first gained recognition in the early 1970s by forming the satirical country band Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jewboys, known for songs like “They Ain’t Makin’ Jews Like Jesus Anymore” and “Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed.”
Although the band’s run was brief, he continued his musical journey, releasing a self-titled solo album in 1974 and embarking on a two-year tour with Bob Dylan.
Throughout his career, he released 18 albums, with his final work, “Circus of Life,” being released in 2018.
The country music community recently mourned the tragic loss of the beloved singer Richard “Kinky” Friedman, who passed away at his Texas home in late June at the age of 79.
Rest in peace.
