Customer Reviews

Here is the Foundation
This guy, this Lefty Frizzell, is the foundation upon which every modern male country singer has based their style on, knowingly or unknowingly. See, Lefty loved Jimmie Rodgers, and he would stick his head in the Victrola emulating what he heard. This developed into a totally original, unique way with a song and a lyric. He in turn heavily influenced George Jones, Merle Haggard, the list of legends is endless. Keith Whitley, John Anderson, Randy Travis, Tracy Lawrence, and hundreds of others copped Lefty's style knowingly or unknowingly. Today Lefty is virtually forgotten, which is unforgivable. The man never sang a bad note...he did his share of questionable material, but the flawless moments far outweigh the uninspired. This collection has just about all of it--except for some Grand Ole Opry performances and a couple of tunes that have surfaced since the release of this box set. The last three discs alone are worth the price of this set--Radio performances which often surpassed the studio counterparts, early demos from the 40's, and acoustic guitar and vocal demos of lots of great songs. This set is essential. Save your pennies, and start preaching some Lefty to your friends.

As Good As It Gets
From his days as a honkytonk firecracker to the deep meloncholy of his final recordings Lefty was, along with his close friends Hank Williams and Ray Price, the finest and most influencial of country singers. His ligato style has had a profound influence of great singers from Merle Haggard to Keith Whitley and Randy Travis to Scott Hisey. This great collection spans Lefty's entire career and it is riviting. This is pure country music as good as it gets. And that is very good indeed.
