In this episode we get a more complete picture of the great Lefty Frizzell. Known for his hard drinking and quick temper, a gentler Lucky seems to have protected and nurtured his younger brother. “Lefty never made me feel like I was in the shadows of him,” says the younger Frizzell in the podcast.

This episode is filled with music including David’s famous novelty song, Gonna Hire a Wino, Goodbye, and of course Lefty’s If You’ve Got the Money, I’ve Got the Time.
