Merle's quote from Lefty's book says it all. " The influence Lefty Frizzell had on Country music and me is not even measurable". In my opinion Merle is the only artist that came so so close to equalling Lefty's overall talent as a singer and songwriter. That being said Merle had much more long term success!. Thanks for sharing
What an awesome story!!
Merle asked me to interview him about some of the songs on a tribute album. I was honored !
Ray Mcdonald Thank you so much for sharing! What a treasure!!
A wonderful anecdote. Thank you!
This is one of my favorite songs, by Merle and Johnny R.
