Friedman goes for "Resurrection"

Guitarist Larry Campbell, who has played with Bob Dylan, produced the set. The release contains 11 new songs, 4 co-written by Doc Elliot, and a special guest appearance by long-time Friedman pal Willie Nelson on the title track/

Friedman will hit the road in November for his 2019 Merry Kinkster Tour. With 21 dates that take him from the East Coast to the Midwest, to his home state of Texas, this is the first leg of a full U.S. tour, with a westward jaunt to be announced soon. He will be joined by Austin band leader Cleve Hattersley, whose new book "Life Is a Butt Dial" (YES Publishing, Austin, Texas) tells the tales of his and Friedman's adventures together. Hattersley will perform a few songs with his wife, Sweet Mary, and read from his book. Brian Molnar, who has accompanied Kinky on several recent tours will be opening nearly all the dates, premiering his new CD, "One of Them" (Avenue A Records).
