Mayhem Aforethought is a unique time capsule that allows the listener to travel back to 1973 and hear a complete uncut and uncensored performance of Kinky Friedman & The Texas Jewboys; from introduction of the band to the DJ's promotional wrap up. This CD was recorded during a live KSAN radio broadcast with a studio audience including Ken Kesey, Jerry Garcia and entourage.Kinky Friedman & The Texas Jewboys burst onto the outlaw music scene in 1973. They were irreverent, politically incorrect and in your face. Kinky's songs were witty, sarcastic, shocking and cutting edge; surprisingly, that remains true today. Mayhem Aforethought is the only album ever recorded that presents a complete show with the original Kinky Friedman & The Texas Jewboys band members. The uncensored interplay between Kinky and the Jewboys during the show is as entertaining (or more so) as the songs themselves.

Classic
If you want to know what it was like to have been there, or just enjoy this groundbreaking music from a magical time in history, it doesn't get any better than this. If you are from Texas, or have any connection to the State, this is essential. I can't begin to cover all the various angles and perspectives represented by the music and its commentary on contemporary early-70's society; it goes well beyond knee-slapping laughter and comic entertainment. It's that, plus heavy at the same time. Well, nothing more I can say except "5 Stars" in my book...this one and "Sold American". And to top it all, Kinky appears likely to be the next Governor of Texas in 2006. I think there's hope for the World. "Thank ya very much!" "You're welcome Kinky"

A Kinky Klassic. Thank You ...... You're Welcome!!!!!!
A classic Kinky Friedman concert recording from the '70s. This has been available on the internet for some years (in mono) but I've never been able to download it, so this (stereo) release is a real treat. Some of the tracks previously appeared on the 1992 compilation "Old Testaments and New Revelations", but this is the entire one hours show, with all the between song banter. Another great release from Little Jewford's Sphincter Records. Recommended!!!

Man muss schon Kinky- Fan sein, um diese CD zu kaufen, aber vielleicht wird man es ja nach dem ersten Hören: Es geht hier nicht um klassischen Schmalz-Country,a la "I am a poor lonesome cowboy";der Typ ist politisch inkorrekt, die Texte dem entsprechend.
