A Lefty Frizzelly style Texas twanger that Lefty never recorded was written in1969 by Whitney Shafer and made immortal by Merle Haggard in 1974, when Lefty was still with us.
It’s a twang thing. Others don’t understand.
I’ll Break Out Again Tonight
Merle’s version—-more Leftyish than Lefty himself
Whitney Shafer version
If you want to be a real deal nostril nosed Lefty Frizzell imitator twanger you must have your version, you know?
Why didn’t Lefty record this one?
