With the insincerity and self-centered crap 💩 of today's artist's and music 🎶... they couldn't hold a candle to the traditionalists and true 👌 pioneers of country music 🎼...Lefty Frizzell is a prime example of many that had it... bring back traditional country it stands the test of time 💯👌 .

This voice changed country music. The best ever. These albums came out when I was a about 12 or so. Lefty I think had 2 albums in the early 70s. This particular song I think was his best ever. .

My dad played with him in Verona, Pennsylvania 1961. I was only 5, but I’ll never forget playing with my friends while they did music together. I have 6 boxes of pictures from back then that is hard to go through, and I know there is a picture of them. My dad played every instrument, but mainly his Mandolin, which I gave to one of my cousins so he’ll learn to play. Thanks for the wonderful memories ♥️

Now a days they make too much money, travel in million-dollar air conditioned bus, and have one number one hit and retire. In the old days 16 hour rides from one job to the next in an old station wagon with the bass tied on top of the vehicle. Might make a few hundred bucks and then have to travel a couple thousand miles to get back to Nashville for the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday. Tom T Hall said for his first number one hit he made $3,000. Having one of today's so-called country music stars singing about about hard times is like having Madonna sing about virginity.

Keith Whitley's favorite song. He would sing it at the drop of a hat. It was Keith who got Sanger Shafer to write a second verse. Keith was often criticized for sounding exactly like Lefty. Keith however took that as the highest praise. If you are going to sound like someone he would say, its good to sound like the best.
