Lasso from El Paso

Lasso from El Paso is an album by Kinky Friedman, released in 1976. "Sold American" was recorded live while on tour with Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. It was Friedman's last album of original material for more than 40 years.

Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "of the many albums that grew out of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, this must be the strangest." 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."
