How I love your unique voice, Johnny!!! You're paying tribute to another incredible country singer, the one and only Lefty Frizzell.You surely are among the greatest country singers ever. May both your souls rest in peace.
What was wrong is now right, what was right is now wrong. This Ole World is so "F"d up, but this is true, real, good ole country music. Makes me feel right, again!
Johnny Paycheck and all the other "Outlaw" country singers were the best thing to come out of country for a long time they all speak the truth when it comes to life, Women, Drinkin, and God
Johnny's voice is so warm and convincing...it makes a person stop and listen to what he's saying in his songs....I love it...one of country music's 5 top singer ever....RIP ,,,,
Lefty Frizell was an original of the "Bakersfield sound". In fact, most of his original band such as Roy Nichols, Norm Hamlet went on with Merle and Strangers. Yes, Lefty had many, great country songs. Not sure about "Lefty was right after all". okay. mos60
barrygioportmorien1 My dad has one of those yellow records of this song hanging in his room on a plaque. My dad was his tour bus driver for several years in the 90's. :)
Politics, politics. Mickey Newbury brought me from the UK to work at the CMA. I turned the job down for a life with the so-called 'Outlaws'. Waylon was nearly dead before they let him in. Yet they couldn't wait to pull in Hank. Paycheck could sing and did. But a black harmonica journeyman is in the 'Hall of Fame'. Waylon, minus a foot made it. Paycheck won't. Politics, not talent.

Gonna go pay respect to donnie and George jones soon.their buried in the same cemetary in tennesse.glad to have been in their generation and not todays crap excuse for country misic.
Please put Johnny in the Hall of Fame
Paycheck really never got the recognition he truly needed had a good voice good singer
Times were good back then, we still had Cash, Jones, Paycheck, Waylon, Merle, I wish we could go back!
The old TNN Network! I truly miss this network and some ofd the best country music.
Love Johnny Paycheck!RIP

PKA SURVIVAL TRIP BABY ;)
Does anybody know if Johnny did a studio recording of this song, is it on a CD somewhere?
Yes and no. It;s on a yellow 45 rpm. Search it on here if you haven't already.
I have searched but I have not come across it.....

Barry, I know "Lefty Was Right After all" is on his very successful The Soul & Edge CD

They wanted Hank sr only after his death... money talks... JP was still married to his only wife, rest had swinging door wives...lol
It's a damn shame how they value a true talented musician. Your exactly right about the political part. God bless you!

I just realized this songs not about politics
Hey who all know who LEFTY is???????????
Lefty Frizzell
A wise dude :p

Is this song about how communists and socialists have the right ideas, or about how commies and the like were really right wingers after all?
I can't tell if you're kidding or not, but if you're seriously asking, the song is about country music legend Lefty Frizzell.
James Phillips Heh, I love coming back to comments I can't remember writing. But, given how much I know myself, I was just joking about the title.
Haha, alright, you just never know on youtube
