Lefty Fritzell was a great handsome wonderful singer I miss him
My mother is 92 years young and that is one of her favorite songs see she was born in Saginaw Michigan and so was I
Love this one! Lefty didn't just have a great voice....he defined the "Country voice" for generations. The tone, the smoothness, the extended vowels... he helped start the "sound" that we all recognize as Country music. Many of his best songs, I learned by listening to the many covers of them, but its always nice to go back and hear them from the master! :-)
@David Emswiler When I come to Texas you and I are doing a reaction or two together. Fact.
@@RockN2Country Yes sir...and just TRY to pay for anything! :-)
@David Emswiler I am humbled, and just realized you’ve got some Jersey in you (“you’re money’s no good here”). Ha!!
Yes, the voice was magnificent, soft and storytelling...and a great tale ......a southern voice of a life in Michigan !
There you go. You were talking about blowing the lid off . Exposing country musics intellect. Three minutes later....boom. Gotcha with the old switcheroo. The story captures you. Reveals a young man's suffering, struggles, desire, love, success, conquest without being graphic. It never gets too sad. There's no violence. He comes up with a creative/ somewhat disshonest way to win the girl. With a simple little tune, a guitar, and some background vocals. What a classic. Right in the pocket of the traditional country music we all know and love.
Jeez....he makes licks 99% of singers wouldn't attempt seem 100% effortless. That's natural talent unsurpassed in any genre.
Right on about the great lyrics in real country music,and Lefty did have a great voice.Favorite of his to me is Long Black Veil
Yep, “Long Black Veil” is a good one. And of course “If You Have the Money....”
@@zachgates7491 Lefty sang the best version of 'Long Black Veil'.
He was an amateur boxer and had a mean left hook.
I love this! Lefty was a real talent.
Lefty is truly a Legend of Country Music. Back in the 60s, when all the kids were listening to the Beatles and such, I listened to Lefty, Hank Sr, Marty Robbins, And Doug Kershaw. Most artists are remembered for a song or 2, but Lefty had so many big ones. She's Gone Gone Gone, The Long Black Veil, I never go around Mirrors, Falling, I love you a Thousand Ways, etc. My favorite is I Love you a Thousand Ways.
I was listening to both.
Lefty Frizzell was one of Keith Whitley's favorite artists. Another great Lefty song is I Don't Go Around Mirrors.
Lefty was a true legend who had such a tremendous influence on a whole host of country greats e.g. Merle Haggard, George Jones, Keith Whitely etc. Thus he created the gold standard for those who followed him. The tune featured here has all the ingredients of a country class- memorable melody, clever lyrics and a singer endowed with a terrific voice. Another spot-on reaction,/rating, Don, and keep rockin' dat country dude.
@TheGarretdeas You know your stuff, man! You should have your own channel since you'd never have to look anything up. Ha!!
Some of the earliest songs I remember were Lefty Frizzell. If You've Got the Money, Always Late, Mom and Dad's Waltz, I Want To Be With You Always. This was fun.
The great Bill Anderson wrote this song another one of his creative tunes
This is when country music was country music.🎼🎵❤️ 6:59
last time in Nashville we went to his grave it says W O "Lefty" Frizzell...one of my favorites from the 50s
I liked that song when i was a kid but only now do i get the jist of it haha. Clever. Thanks
I remember my mom listening to him. Thanks for requesting, Lou Anne (Hope that is spelled right). Thanks for posting, Captain! Love and hugs for all~stay safe! This is a great story! "Sleepless in Seattle".
I lived in Saginaw for a while. Frankenmuth is a beautiful place.
I was just waiting for him to get to the punch line. I knew you'd get a kick out of it! I grew up with, and loved this older country music. Cheers, Steve
@Steve Everett Thanks for the comments--it always cracks me up when people wait around to see my reaction when they know something's coming. Ha!!
Love this song
This is why I love traditional country music so much , tells a complete story in such a short time, Love Lefty's voice Keith whitley sounded a lot like him Thanks for this video great reaction and rating spot on
morning Don love beats greed every time ,song has been on my playlist for yrs, back to the wall eyes on the door HAKAD
@dan sigurdson I hope the rebuild of the mill is going well for you up there before winter hits.
@@RockN2Country if worksafe and inspecters would FO i would be ok HAKAD
After you went through your speech about traditional country, etc., I knew something was going to happen to you. Your reaction when you knew what it was was incredible I had heard this song from my teenage years (yes, they played it on Top 40 radio do you believe that??)! But since it was so well put together, and written so cleverly, I wanted to know who created that. I was thinking Hank Cochran, Harlan Howard, or Dallas Frazier. And what a surprise - it was BILL ANDERSON!!!
@flomurdock That's one of the biggest things I love about doing reactions, is surprises like these. The story is moving along just fine, I don't suspect anything, and then--bam!--it's in my face! So much fun.
Lefty was a true icon of country music.
Great video, loved your reaction to the song and awesome rating 👏 👏👏,Lefty aka William Orville has always been one of my favorites, thanks for sharing and as always "Howdy from Texas "!!
@Greg Foster And a big "How you doin'?" from Jersey!! Ha!!
@@RockN2Country hey Don, hearing this made me put on all of Lefty's greatest hits lol now for the rest of the day I'm listening to him thanks for that and you know "How you doin' " ha ha 😁"
Definitely check out Long Black Veil by him.
My favorite Lefty song...another great story.
The nester is my favorite Lefty song
Most people today do not know how popular Lefty was. As Merle sang: "Hank and Lefty crowded every juke box" (51). Bob Wills had his Western, but Hank and Lefty had the Country. Mom and Dad Waltz" and Long Black Veil" are both good ones.
He sure fooled her dad .stay safe
I knew what was coming, so I was watching your expression. Lefty sure was one of the greats. As mentioned by others, he influenced Merle Haggard and Keith Whitney. I wonder who the backup singers were. They sounded a little like the Carter family. Great choice.
I love this song😊
People who don’t know country music often miss the lyrics in country music. Hank Williams songs were so brilliant they that he was dubbed the Hillbilly Shakespeare.
I agree with you & THANK YOU
Great video. Awesome reaction. I am a singer of classic/traditional country having just recently moved to Tennessee. It was ironic that I came across this video just now tonight as I was looking for other versions of the song for possible future re-recording (I had a recording session today to cut my demo album and Saginaw Michigan is one of the tracks on the CD).
Great story.
if there was a mount rushmore of country music Lefty would be on it with Hank Sr, George Jones, and maybe Loretta, the all time greats of country music
I think one of the underappreciated aspects of this song and so many songs are the musicians; I would encourage everyone to go back and listen to this song again, and focus on the guitar that is being played in the background! Whoever is playing, the guitar is an absolute virtuoso! Another classic country music song with credible guitar playing is the song “Lonesome fugitive” by Merle Haggard; again, whoever is playing the acoustic guitar in the song is a master!
Might I suggest a country music song called “country bumpkin” by Cal Smith?
@William Lidster Good suggestions and the good news is I did a reaction to Cal's song about a year ago and a review of "Lonesome Fugitive" about four years ago.
@@RockN2Country I will certainly look for them! Love your channel!!
@@williamlidster5850 I'm glad you're on board!
The first time I heard this song it was johnny cash
I don't know what happened but I wasn't getting any of your notifications. I finally figured it out. So I'm back & you better keep it together man. :)
@Joe Skinner LOL!! Welcome back, brutherman!! I feel the difference already.
Lefty has a long list of hits. He also had a younger brother named David who was also a gifted singer.
You should listen to I've been everywhere by Hank Snow
You missed the trailing words of the song. “He’s ashamed to show his face in Saginaw Michigan”. As if to say he won’t be back to bother them.
Good job. Keep up the good work.
Written 1/2 written by Bill Anderson!
Lefty was so talented. He was one of Keith Whitley's heroes
Merle Haggard also idolized Lefty
I had not heard this before only the Johnny Cash version, so I knew what was coming . Pay back is a bitch !
His version of Long Black Veil is the best
Merle started his career by doing Lefty cover shows .
His younger brother is David Frizzell has a couple of great songs, I'm going to hire a wino, and You're the reason GOD made Oklahoma with Shelly West. Shelly is the daughter of the late Dottie West. County music really is a family
@Frank Novack Those are wonderful songs. I did both of them, so just check the search feature and type in the last name of the artist and the songs I’ve done by him or her will pop up.
He was an amateur boxer with a wicked left hook ( hence Lefty ).
Intellectual exercise
Please react to Jesse Daniel, any song of his will do. He's a Bakersfield boy
Johnny Horton North to Alaska
@Nick Nolan Yes sir, did that one earlier this year. Here's the link--enjoy!! th-cam.com/video/U0TQRm4JgqM/w-d-xo.html
Check out " Holed Up in Some Honky Tonk " by Dean Dillon
Or TG Shepherd and Clint Eastwood " Make My Day" .
Love ALWAYS LATE
You'll never hear that in a rock song.
Can you react to hank Williams jr gibbonsville gold
