Under the Double Ego

Product Review

Under the Double Ego was originally recorded in 1982 and released on Sunrise Records. These amazing recordings were seemingly forgotten for 21 years until they were discovered by a Jesuit priest who just happened to be traveling on the sunny side of the street, over the river, through the woods past grandmother's house, down by the ol' mill stream, in a cave, behind a waterfall, in a hole in the ground under a velvet painting of Elvis. Sphincter Records was able to procure the recordings (by a hooker and a couple of crooks) and had them lovingly remastered digitally by Drummond the drunken Druid and now for the first time, they are available on CD!

Kinky is a double threat - singer/songwriter and best selling author of 15 books detailing the unorthodox crime solving ways of - who else? - Kinky Friedman!

Have never understood why this collection never took off on the charts--I love just about every song which is unusual for an album. I am delighted to see it finally got made into a CD (OK I am 3 years late it seems, but I had given up after trying to find the CD for years.) Great music, penetrating insights, sensitive warmth--and good fun.

This review is from: Under the Double Ego (Audio CD)

The Kinkster's last album of all-new material (before his admirable live compilations) this one actually came out in 1983 originally - which is where it SHOULD appear in the 'original release date' sequence; now would someone please review it, please? I have to give it 5 stars because it's Kinky, but should I buy it?? Original band members are invited, nay urged to comment...
