Lefty Frizzell - Lifes Like Poetry '1992

Tracks list

 Lifes Like Poetry is a gigantic, 12-disc box set that includes all of Lefty
Frizzells recordings for Columbia and ABC, plus early demos, a session with Jay
Miller, and several radio transcriptions -- everything he recorded between 1950
and 1975. Certainly, the box is designed for collectors -- no one but the most
devoted fan could listen to all 330 tracks. Though all of his classic material
is included, there is also a fair share of mediocre material, including some
ill-advised attempts at country-pop. Nevertheless, there are gems sprinkled
throughout the collection and it offers proof of his far-reaching talents and
influence, as well as demonstrating that several of Leftys later recordings were
as worthwhile as his early singles. For any serious fan, it is an indispensible
collection.
