David Frizzell - The Way It Was In '51

Back in the early to mid 70’s I was doing some shows in Sparks, Nevada at The Shy Clown Casino while Merle was playing downtown Reno. He called me one afternoon and said, “David come on down and let’s get together”. So down I went. It was always great to be around Merle. We sat and passed the guitar back and forth singing songs we’d written or would sing a Lefty song (or two), we were the two biggest fans of Lefty’s and still are! I was working with Buck Owens out of Bakersfield California at the time and recording with Capital Records with Buck as the Producer. I said to Merle, “Merle I have got to get a hit song, I have to have a hit song, I have to have a hit and I know you have some”. Merle said, “David I’ll sing you something new I just wrote” and he sang “That’s The Way It Was In 51’. I fell in love with it. I said “Merle, I have to have that song!” Merle said, “David I can’t give that to you, it’s my next single”, I said, I don’t care if it is, I need this song”. Merle smiled and said, “David I’ve just recorded my last session for the year but this is what I can do, I’ll send you ten songs and I guarantee you that six of them are hits”. I looked over at Merle and said, “Merle please underline those six for me cuz’ I’ll probably record those other ones”. We both laughed. Fast forward to 2016…Merle was finally scheduled to do a Country Family reunion show with lots of guests. We were all so excited…then Merle passed away in April. We went on with the show but as a tribute to Merle. We were all still grieving from this loss but together. Everyone had a chance to pick their Merle song so I chose “That’s The Way It Was In 51”. 2025 I have a new project called “David Frizzell Presents Frizzell & Friends A Tribute To Brother Lefty” and thanks to the Country Family Reunion team they have gave their permission to use the song for this special project and the amazing clip as seen here with all these incredible musicians. So as Merle wrote in the song: Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox, that’s the way it was in 51’ **************************************************************************** David Frizzell is a Grammy award nominee and winner for Song of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards for his 1981 smash hit “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma”, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in January of 2021. The younger brother of the late Lefty Frizzell, David earned his place as one of the top country music artists in the 1980s and continues to record music and tour today. In addition to his career as a musician, Frizzell also wrote a tribute book dedicated to his brother, called “I Love You A Thousand Ways: The Lefty Frizzell Story”, which CMT named one of the best music books of the year in 2011.
