Lefty Frizzell
Lefty Frizzell
Corsicana, USCountry

Lefty Frizzell was the definitive honky tonk singer, the vocalist that set the style for generations of vocalists that followed him.
Frizzell smoothed out the rough edges of honky tonk by singing longer, flowing phrases -- essentially, he made honky tonk more acceptable for the mainstream without losing its gritty, bar-room roots.
