Music reviews of To Lefty from Willie

Music Review: An excellent tribute album
Rating: 5 Stars

The first five tracks (Mom and Dad's waltz, Look what thoughts will do, I love you a thousand ways, Always late with your kisses, I want to be with you always) together with If you've got the money I've got the time, were songs that established Lefty as a force in country music back in the early fifties. She's gone gone gone and A lttle unfair came later in Lefty's career. Though less successful, Willie chose well in selecting these songs to record. The remaining three songs (I never go around mirrors, That's the way love goes, Railroad lady) were songs that Lefty recorded near the end of his career in the early seventies. Without this tribute album, it is unlikely that any but Lefty's committed fans would associate these songs with him. Indeed, That's the way love goes is generally associated with Merle Haggard, whose voice is very similar to Lefty's.

Willie recorded many fine albums, some of which appeal to people who don't normally like country music. My guess is that this album will mainly appeal to traditional country fans - if you are one, buy this. If you enjoy the songs, hopefully you will eventually buy a collection of Lefty's own music.
