Lasso from El Paso is an album by Kinky Friedman, released in 1976.[1][2] "Sold American" was recorded live while on tour with Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue.[3] It was Friedman's last album of original material for more than 40 years.[4]
Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "of the many albums that grew out of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, this must be the strangest."[5] Reviewing a reissue of the album, Record Collector wrote: "Undoubtedly dated, but not lacking in the redeeming yuck factor, one can still enjoy the absurd 'Bananas And Cream' and 'Waitret, Please, Waitret' in mixed company."[6]
