To Lefty From Willie is an affectionate and thoroughly enjoyable salute to
Lefty Frizzell, featuring stellar versions of a number of
Lefty's best-known songs -- including "Always Late (With Your Kisses)," "She's Gone, Gone, Gone," "I Never Go Around Mirrors," and "That's the Way Love Goes" -- plus revealing takes on a number of obscurities from the influential vocalist's catalog.
Nelson is respectful without being overly reverential, giving his own spin to each song without abandoning their honky tonk roots. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
