Our Take

Ah, the dulcet tones of Lefty Frizzell fill the air like a warm embrace from a long-lost friend. The Singles Collection 1950-62 is a treasure trove of classic country tunes that transport you back to simpler times, when honky-tonk bars were the place to be and cowboy boots were a fashion statement, not just a practicality.

Frizzell's distinct twang and heartfelt lyrics are on full display in this collection, showcasing why he is considered a pioneer of the genre. From the toe-tapping "If You've Got the Money I've Got the Time" to the tear-jerking "I Want to Be With You Always," each track is a masterclass in storytelling through song.

The production may be a bit dated compared to modern standards, but that only adds to the charm of this album. It's like listening to a time capsule from a bygone era, where the sound of a steel guitar was enough to transport you to the dusty plains of Texas.

So dust off your Stetson hat, pour yourself a glass of whiskey, and let Lefty Frizzell serenade you with his timeless tunes. The Singles Collection 1950-62 is a must-have for any true country music connoisseur, a slice of musical history that deserves a spot in your collection. Trust me, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Lefty Frizzell

Ah, LEFTY FRIZZELL, the enigmatic troubadour with a voice as smooth as Tennessee whiskey and a twang as sharp as a Nashville skyline. Hailing from Corsicana, Texas, Frizzell made a name for himself in the 1950s with his distinctive honky-tonk sound, blending traditional country with a touch of rockabilly swagger. Known for his effortless crooning and heart-wrenching lyrics, Frizzell quickly rose to fame with hits like "I Love You a Thousand Ways" and "If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time". His music has inspired generations of musicians, from Willie Nelson to Merle Haggard, cementing his legacy as a true pioneer of the genre. Despite his undoubted talent, Frizzell's career was marked by personal struggles and setbacks. His battles with alcohol and drugs often overshadowed his music, but his raw honesty and authenticity only added to his mystique. In a world of flashy country stars and manufactured pop, LEFTY FRIZZELL stands out as a reminder of a simpler time when music came from the heart and soul. His music may be vintage, but his impact on the industry is timeless. So pour yourself a glass of bourbon, put on a LEFTY FRIZZELL record, and let yourself be transported to a world where music was king and authenticity reigned supreme. And remember, as Frizzell himself once sang, "Saginaw, Michigan".
