My Uncle Lefty Frizzell, 1970 on “Country Carnival” with Del Reeves. In 1951, he had four songs in the country Top 10 at the same time… a record that shaped the entire genre. This is the voice that influenced Merle, Willie, George, and so many more. 🤍✨ #LeftyFrizzell #CountryMusicHistory #classiccountry #HonkyTonkLegends #MerleHaggard #georgejones #willienelson #grandoleopry | Tess Frizzell
