Lefty Frizzell: Time Out For The Blues (LP)

(Southern Routes) 16 tracks

Lefty Frizzell was an artistic giant who ex-erted a powerful influence over country music. He introduced an original vocal style that profoundly influenced George Jones, Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley, Randy Travis and still echoes through contemporary country. An illimitably creative stylist who enjoyed some of the most dramat-ic, record setting commercial successes by any singer, Frizzell was also a star crossed fool who, thanks to his seemingly unquenchable thirst for hard liquor, died almost broke and nearly forgot-ten.

His is one of the most bittersweet country music sagas, but Frizzell left behind an astonish-ing trove of near perfect performances and un-forgettable songs. Where Hank Williams' vocals were sharp and angular, Lefty's was all pliant curves, a malleable, spontaneous, almost slurred sound, one where luxuriously drawn out vowels were reshaped in deliciously mellow new configurations; his appeal and tone were not dissimilar to smooth country crooners like Eddy Arnold and Tommy Duncan, but Lefty's resolutely good-timing honky-tonk ways were unmistakable Born March 31 in Corsicana Texas, as the son of a wild cat oilman Frizzell's childhood was an unstable, semi itinerant existence; music was al-ways a powerful force in his life and Frizzell, like fellow Lone Star staters Gene Autry and Ernest Tubb, grew up idolizing Jimmie Rodgers but used the Yodeling Brakeman's distinctive ap-proach as a launching pad for what became his own equally singular style.

As a youth, Frizzell set out on his own and quickly became the consummate teenage honky tonk roughneck, barnstorming through the dance halls, taverns and beer joints of the sprawl-ing post-war Southwestern Desert. Thanks to an alliance with a young guitarist named Norm Stephens, whose crackling brand of hot take-off guitar perfectly complemented the singer's fast-evolving vocals, Frizell was cooking up a high-voltage, updated honky tonk, one that mixed hedonistic bar room mayhem with an in-creasingly perfected sense of the poetic. This weird combination was shaken by circumstance and mythology into a richly emotional form of expression in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947—with an arrest, for statutory rape, that precisely coin-cided with the infamous UFO crash. Languishing under a six month sentence in the Roswell hoosegow, the nineteen year old Frizell experienced a feverish, guilt-fueled explosion of creativity, churning out a series of songs that within a few years would result in his unprece-dented feat of placing 4 songs in the Billboard Country singles chart's Top 5 concurrently (an achievement that has never been rivalled).

His classic "I Love You, I'll Prove it a Thousand Ways" began life as letter of apology to his beloved wife Alice, and by the time Dallas studio wizard and Columbia records talent scout Jim Beck caught Lefty's live show in 1950, the singer, with relaxed molasses drawl, playful nature, frank unabashed sentimentality, warmth and down home charm, was already a local sensation. Together, Beck and Frizzell, with dazzlingly ideal recordings like "Always Late (With Your Kisses)" would make musical history. Frizzell's stage show was also a far more lively than was usual at the time, he was demonstrably physical—Lefty moved, swung his arms, snapped his fingers, and very actively grooved along. country singer Freddie Hart, who worked as crew member on a Hank Williams-Lefty Frizzell co-headline tour, described the effect Lefty had on female listeners are similar to that of Elvis. Despite a respectable run of chart hits and steady bookings, Frizzell, by the late 1950's, had effectively run his career into the ground.

Based in Southern California, he concentrated more on pleasure than business and tended to play the same circuit of clubs and dancehalls repeatedly, an almost self-destructive practice that left him overexposed and frequently underpaid. Frizzell enjoyed two subsequent creative and commercial rallies, with the early 60's success of number one hit "Saginaw, Michigan" and his ma-jestic 1970's stint on ABC Records, where, collabo-rating with songwriter Sanger D. "Whitey" Shafer, Frizzell introduced a whole new of series of in-stant country standards, each of them a lovingly wrought testament to the singer's undiminished creativity and interpretive prowess. Ironi,ally, it wasn't Lefty, but newcomer Johnny Rodriguez who took the Frizzell-Shafer gem "That's the Way Love Goes" to the top of the charts in 1974, but by that point. Lefty's days were numbered to a tragically short amount. In July of the following year, Frizell suddenly suffered a massive stroke and passed away, The shadow of obscurity which enveloped began to fade after Willie Nelson's 1977 tribute "To Lefty From Willie" and his 1982 Hall of Fame induction, and appreciation of Frizzell's im-pact and influence has grown steadily ever since.

Lefty Frizzell

Steppin' Out

Lefty Frizzell war der größte Honky-Tonk-Sänger aller Zeiten, wenn man die gebildetsten und meinungsfreudigsten Fans der Country-Musik fragt. Gesegnet mit einer Stimme, die ihm natürlich kam - eine Stimme, die so viel Seele hielt und so unendliche Schichten emotionalen Ausdrucks trug, dass erwachsene Männer oft zu Tränen gerührt wurden -, wurde er auch mit schlechten Gewohnheiten und einem Karriereweg nach unten verflucht, der ihn 1975 im tragisch jungen Alter von 47 Jahren tot zurückließ.

Diese Compilation, Teil der'Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight'-Serie, versucht alle Up-Tempo-Nummern - Hillbilly Boogie, Rockabilly, Borderline Rock'n' Roll und hartes Land der späten 1950er Jahre - zusammenzustellen - ein Paket, das zweifellos die Menge der Rockabilly-Fans und diejenigen ansprechen wird, die eine einzelne Lefty Frizzell-Scheibe in ihrer Sammlung haben wollen.

Lassen Sie uns jedoch wissen, dass eine Scheibe, die nur die uptempo Lefty Frizzell-Zahlen enthält, einem Gemälde ähnelt, das nur zwei der Grundfarben verwendet. Lefty's unglaubliche Tiefe der Emotionen bot sich am besten für klagende Balladen und Walzer, und obwohl die Uptempo-Zahlen sind auch großartig. Aber wenn Sie wirklich die ganze Bandbreite von Lefty's Talent erleben wollen, drängt dieser Autor Sie, das Wesentliche aus den Bärenfamilien-Boxen zu suchen:'Life's Like Poetry'. (BCD 15550).

William Orville'Lefty' Frizzell wurde am 31. März 1928 in der Öl- und Farmstadt Corsicana, Texas, etwa 50 Meilen südöstlich von Dallas, geboren. Als kleines Kind zog seine Familie nach El Dorado, Arkansas, wo sie blieb, bis Lefty ein Teenager war. Obwohl die Familie ihn immer "Sonny" nannte, da er der erste Junge in der Familie war, wurde der Spitzname "Lefty" während eines Schulstreits mit einem anderen Jungen erworben. Der Spitzname - der kam, weil Lefty mit der linken Hand in den Kampf führte - war sein ganzes Leben lang bei ihm, obwohl Lefty mit der rechten Hand Gitarre spielte.

Als Kind liebte Lefty die Musik und begann schon in jungen Jahren Gitarre zu spielen. Mit 12 Jahren sicherte er sich sogar einen Platz in einer Kinderradiosendung auf dem Lokalsender KELD. Als die Familie Frizzell nach Texas zurückkehrte, gewann Lefty einen Talentwettbewerb in Dallas, der den Ehrgeiz des jungen Mannes stärkte, in der Musik weiterzumachen, was er tat, indem er abwechselnd in den texanischen Ölfeldern arbeitete und an den Wochenenden bei Honky-Tonks auftrat.

1945 heiratete Lefty Alice Harper, als beide 16 Jahre alt und zu jung waren, um ohne elterliche Erlaubnis zu heiraten. Bald darauf wurde ihr erstes Kind, Lois, geboren, und 1946 zogen Lefty und seine neue Familie nach New Mexico auf der Suche nach einem besseren Leben, zuerst nach Capitan und dann nach Roswell, einer damals boomenden Armeestadt nahe der Grenze zu West Texas. Lefty sang und schrieb Lieder in Roswell, während Alice in einem Café in der Innenstadt arbeitete. Ein einheimischer Musiker hatte einen Wilcox-Gay Plattenrecorder, und Lefty bat darum, einige seiner Songs auf dem primitiven Gerät aufnehmen zu lassen, so war sein Wunsch, ein professioneller Sänger zu werden.

Die Zeiten waren hart und die Familie verhungerte beinahe, die Umstände wurden durch Leftys Tendenz, in Schwierigkeiten mit dem Gesetz zu geraten, noch verschlimmert. Acht Tage nach dem legendären Absturz von Roswell'U.F.O.' im Juli 1947 wurde Lefty verhaftet und diente sechs Monate im Gefängnis von Roswell für das, was er in einem späteren Interview als "fightin' and carryin' on" bezeichnete. In Wirklichkeit handelte es sich um eine Vergewaltigung, bei der ein verheirateter 19-jähriger Mann mit einem 14-jährigen Mädchen erwischt wurde. Die Zeit, die Lefty im Gefängnis verbrachte, brachte ihn fast um und fragte sich, ob Alice ihr neues Baby Lois nehmen und gehen würde. Ob'U.F.O.' abstürzt oder fremde Wesen gefangen genommen werden, Lefty schrieb im September 1947 den ersten von vielen zukünftigen Hit-Songs im Roswell Gefängnis, I Love You A Thousand Ways. Das Lied war eine klagende Entschuldigung an seine Frau Alice für seine Missetaten.

Nach seiner Freilassung Anfang 1948 zogen Lefty und seine Familie zurück nach Texas, wo er schließlich eine Residency im Ace of Clubs in Big Spring gründete, ein Club-Gig, der mehr als ein Jahr dauern sollte. Lefty's Originalsongs waren bei den lokalen Zuschauern beliebt, und bei vielen Gelegenheiten empfahlen die Leute, dass Lefty versuchen sollte, Platten zu machen.
