If I ain’t a half-matured cigar

I don’t pretend to know the Kinkster, but I could hear him speaking to me the whole time. I guess that’s a testament to the professionalism of Mike Dawson.

As gold today as it was in the 80’s

Kinky may not be for everyone, but if you get it, you love him. The seminal work by the saddle-stool detective introduced some of the best characters to ever jump off a page. Kinky has the writing style one can only achieve by living years as a jaded, forgotten, and under appreciated country musician. To not delve into a Friedman mystery is an injustice to the long forgotten dream of Americana that resides within us all.

Love the musician, not the author

The story is meh. Needs more character depth and better editing. But the real problem is that it needed to narrated by Kinky F, that would’ve made it a better performance for me.
