The Two Texas legends, Kinky Friedman and Billy Joe Shaver, are joined on stage by (legends in training) Little Jewford, Washington Ratso and Jesse "Guitar" Taylor.

This 2 CD set from Sphincter Records was recorded at the internationally famous nightclub, The Basement, in Sydney, Australia and is a complete show, from coin toss to encore. The 2 hours runs its course from poignancy to comedy and from poetry to riotous laughter.

Individually, Billy Joe Shaver and Kinky Friedman, each are Texas legends. Together, they are a musical odd couple; and when joined on stage, Billy Joe by Jesse "Guitar" Taylor and Kinky by Little Jewford and Washington Ratso, the dysfunctional family unit is complete. Billy Joe's songs are songs of the common man - real life and real emotion. His powerful delivery of those songs evokes an emotional response from the audience and performers alike. Kinky's irreverent wit and thought provoking songs, combined with the stage antics of his sidekick Little Jewford, keep the crowd riding a see-saw of emotion; howling with laughter one moment and in tears the next. The constant camaraderie coupled with the continuous conflict keeps the audience thoroughly entertained during the two hour show.
