Kinky Friedman (Hörbuch): Greenwich Killing Time (5-CD Hörbuch)

(Bear Family Records®) Audiobook, read by Wiglaf Droste, 5-CD with 16-page booklet, 55 tracks. Playing time approx. 350 minutes. This audiobook is in GERMAN.

Kinky Friedman – 2006 candidate for governor of Texas and creator of the legendary song They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Any More – is a country musician and, ever since he freed a female hostage from the hands of bank robbers, a writer of crime novels. As an amateur detective and the hero of his own novels – in a cowboy hat, Texan hunting vest and cowboy boots made of brontosaurus foreskin – he has to survive all manner of adventures and solve outlandish murders in Greenwich Village. Greenwich Village in Manhattan is Kinky's favourite patch. Here, with the help of his cat, generous amounts of espresso, Jameson whiskey and cigars, and not least a good deal of Texan-Jewish worldly wisdom, he cracks cases like that of the killer who hunts down country singers and, perversely, announces to his victims – in the words of Hank Williams songs – how they will make their exit from the stage of life. This novel begins as a classic whodunit: Kinky calls on McGovern and learns that his neighbour has been murdered. In the dead man's apartment, 11 roses are found, along with a note reading 'you're the twelfth'. Solving this murder provides the frame for the aphorisms with which the author counters the idiocy of existence, describing much of the Village so authentically that the novel could well double as a pub guide.

Kinky Friedman

Kinky Friedman (1944–2024), born Richard F. Friedman in Chicago and raised in Austin, Texas, was one of the most idiosyncratic singer-songwriters of American country music. He owed his nickname to his frizzy hair. As one of very few Jewish artists in country, he made Jewishness the central theme of his work – satirical, provocative and often deeper than it first appeared.

His father Tom was an educational psychologist, his mother Minnie a speech therapist; Kinky's stage career began at the skit nights of the family's Echo Hill Ranch summer camp. After early records as King Arthur & the Carrots, studies at the University of Texas and two years in the Peace Corps in Borneo, he founded the band the Texas Jewboys around 1970, whose shows were notorious for their deliberately provocative wit.

Some called him the Frank Zappa of country music, others compared him to Lenny Bruce. No other country singer wrote about the Holocaust or tackled sensitive subjects as unabashedly as he did here. With songs like 'Ride 'Em Jewboy' and 'Sold American', and as a participant in Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, he gained cult status early on. Friedman later made a name for himself as a crime novelist and as a candidate in the 2006 Texas gubernatorial election. The album 'They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore' gathers his unmistakable repertoire, poised between satire, heart and bite.
