5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Material, November 17, 2002

I knew little of Lefty Frizzell until I saw a t.v. interview where Randy Travis praised him as one of the greatest, innovative country vocalists ever. Intrigued, I bought this album and after one listen, it was immediately elevated to the top shelf beside my early Cash, Buck Owens, Johnny Horton, Faron Young and Hank Snow CDs. The music is fresh, simple and honest, the vocals are magnificent - reaching, twisting, searching, straight from a restless tortured heart. If you're a fan of the best of country music from the 1950s & 60s, this album is a must.

Lefty is a classic, and this CD is too. His phrasing and music have made country music what it is and it continues to have influence today. I highly suggest this CD to any person who loves true country music.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Country Music's Best Voices, August 1, 2000

By 

Daniel Q. Kelly (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Lefty Frizzell wasn't a giant of country music like, say, Hank Williams or Jimmie Rodgers, but he WAS one of the all-time great voices. Lefty swooped from the highs to the lows with breathless ease. Whether singing about good times or a broken heart, there was always a undeniable genuineness to his voice. "Forever (and Always)" and "Mom and Dad's Waltz" will just wring the hell out of your heart, while barnburners such as "If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time" will have you up and stompin' the floor to splinters. A must-have for any serious collector of country music.
