From the vaults of the award-winning PBS Austin City Limits TV show, this is the latest release in the acclaimed Live From Austin, TX series.
Here it is: the only Austin City Limits program in over 30 years that has never aired on TV anywhere. For that matter, it s never even been seen anywhere, except by those lucky few who had access to a well-worn copy.
Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jewboys. Long before the Kinkster became a celebrated mystery writer in New York City, and waaay long before he became a candidate for Governor of the Great State of Texas, there was Kinky the country music singer and songwriter of the mid-1970 s. He was a paragon, a veritable pioneer of political incorrectness set to music, and there was nobody quite like him on the Austin music scene (or, for that matter, on the planet).
There he was on the Austin City Limits stage on November 11, 1975, in his finest rhinestone suit with fur-lined guitar strap, bounding through his entire catalogue of double-entendre ditties. The band never sounded better (nor looked, well, weirder). The audience loved every lyrically devilish twist. There was only one problem. They said it couldn t be aired. There s still some mystery about exactly who they were who made the decision to pull the show.

Review by Mark Deming
Anyone who was foolish enough to book Kinky Friedman & the Texas Jewboys for an hourlong television appearance in 1975, imagining that the notoriously irreverent and taste-challenged Friedman would make nice for the occasion, probably deserved to have to scramble to fill some air time when Kinky's installment of PBS' roots music series Austin City Limits was deemed unfit to broadcast. While Friedman's Austin City Limits taping has yet to appear on the public airwaves, New West Records has finally released the material on CD and DVD as part of its Live from Austin, TX series drawn from the ACL archives. More than 20 years later, while much of Kinky's rudeness doesn't seem all that outrageous compared to an average episode of South Park or Mind of Mencia, it's still difficult to imagine that Kinky believed these versions of "They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore," "Men's Room L.A.," and "Arsehole from El Paso" would ever get heard outside of the KLRU studios, though the musicians and the audience seem to be having a grand time on this particular evening. (There may have been technical factors involved as well -- at one point, Friedman points out a faulty microphone, saying "This dog ain't gonna hunt right here, I don't believe," and said mike audibly gives up the ghost during the disc's final number.) Kinky and his partners in crime deliver a set of fan favorites on this album, including "Rapid City, South Dakota," "Highway Café," and "Mama Baby Mama," and while there are moments where it's hard to say how everyone kept a straight face while delivering this material (especially Friedman's manic between-song patter), the Texas Jewboys make with some potent country boogie, and their cover of Billy Swan's "Lover Please" is a pleasant and rollicking surprise. This is as close as listeners are ever going to get to hearing one of Kinky Friedman's over the top '70s club gigs re-created in the new millennium, and if you think you'll be offended by this stuff, you most certainly will, but longtime fans with a taste for Kinky's musical absurdity will have a ball.
