Billy Joe Shaver & Kinky Friedman - Live From Down Under [2 CD]

It goes without saying that a night of entertainment from Billy Joe Shaver and Kinky Friedman is going to be something special, something exciting and something fairly riotous! And so it proves on Live From Down Under, a double album recorded in 2003 at the Basement in Sydney Australia.

Poignant and hilarious at the same time, this set captures the entire two hours of the show, the music, the camaradarie and everything in between. Little needs to be said about the quality of the songs featured here, which cover the full breadth of careers of these Texas wildmen. Billy Joe Shaver and Kinky Friedman are joined onstage by their band Little Jewford, Washington Ratso and Jesse 'Guitar' Taylor.

The only thing missing from Live From Down Under is a companion DVD, which would have been something very special.
