With his warm, drawling vocals and downhome charm, Texas country music innovator Lefty Frizzell was Hank Williams' only serious rival in the early-50s, when Lefty made history by dominating the Top Five with three concurrent hits. He exerted a profound influenced on every subsequent generation of singers, from George Jones to Merle Haggard and George Strait. Southern Routes newly-compiled import compilation, Time Out For The Blues, captures the singer at his early peak and into his sensational early 1960's return to form, ultimately documenting Frizzell at his irresistible best.
