		By that fall, Lefty and Starnes had a major falling our, ended up in court, and Lefty lost most of his recording royalties and came away with a lasting distrust of managers and promoters.
		Lefty sung the new “honky tonk” style that developed with the microphones and sound systems that came along, systems that allowed the singer to get away from the old mountain “shouting” style of Roy Acuff or Bill Monroe.
		Lefty had a heart slightly bigger than Oklahoma, but some say his personal life was confused much of the time and his own opinion of his talent was not so big.

		That's right, this is a collection of mostly the 60's countrypolitan stereo remakes of the 1950's classics with a sprinkling of originals from the 1960's but the re-recordings are definitely enough to let you all know that this CD is not recommended and that I recommend the Legacy "Look What...
		Although 10 songs recorded by Lefty isn't enough and there are collections with more songs, there is only one song on here that isn't on the more superior collections and that's "A Little Unfair," which is an excellent song that peaked at #36...
		Lefty Frizzell possessed songwriting skills to rival those of the legendary Hank Williams and had an incredible singing voice to boot.
