Therefore, Lasso from El Passo, his first post-Revue record, is his least country sounding and is populated with very big names from the rock world: Eric Clapton (on Dobro), Roger McGuinn, Dr. John, and four members of the Band among them. Ironically, the best cuts here are the ballads, notably \"Twinkle,\" \"Lady Yesterday,\" and a dead-serious reading of Johnny Cash's \"Ballad of Ira Hayes.\" Upbeat covers of Ronnie Hawkins's \"Kinky\" and Dylan's \"Catfish\" (produced by Van Dyke Parks with a funky New Orleans feel and featuring Lowell George on guitar) balance out the wide-ranging album. As Friedman himself sings, \"When it gets too kinky for the rest of the world, it's getting just right for me.\" --Marc Greilsamer, ISBN13: B00000I89X ISBN10: B00000I89X Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51808356237619,"sku":"B10.28.10 F_04-16-25_UBD_H0000ASI","price":36.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/51D8G4FHT0L.jpg?v=1753728049","url":"https:\/\/cheapbookdepot.com\/products\/lasso-from-el-paso","provider":"Cheap Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
