#GreatAlbums1950s - #LeftyFrizell – Listen to Lefty (1952). The archetypal hard-living honkytonk journeyman of the fifties, Lefty remains best known for “If You’ve Got the Money (I’ve Got the Time),” which temporarily made him a friendly rival to Hank Williams on the country hit parade. This ten-inch LP (digitized on Apple and Spotify) presents eight songs from Frizell’s heyday as a singer able to twang the heartstrings while keeping a firm eye on hardscrabble realities.
