As with most country music greats, there is no shortage of
Lefty Frizzell anthologies, so the arrival of something as bland-sounding as
16 Biggest Hits, especially in light of Columbia/Legacy's excellent 34-track
Look What Thoughts Will Do collection, does little to prick up the ears of longtime fans. Most of the classics are here -- "Saginaw, Michigan," "Long Black Veil," "If You've Got the Money I've Got the Time" -- but the lack of "Shine, Shave, Shower (It's Saturday)" and "Run 'Em Off" makes
16 Biggest Hits more of a sampler than a legitimate overview. ~ James Christopher Monger
