Kinky Friedman was a legendary Texas singer-songwriter, beloved for both his satirical and politically incorrect songs, as well as his more moving, haunted material like “Sold American.” He began writing a string of successful detective novels in the 1980s, and famously threw his ten-gallon into the political arena with a colorful run for Governor of Texas in 2006. Beyond the limelight, Kinky’s heart shined brightest at his family’s summer camp, Echo Hill, which hosts the children of Gold Star families. He also dedicated his efforts to animal rescue, giving countless furry souls a second chance.
