NEPHEW OF DAVID & LEFTY FRIZZELL AND SON OF ALLEN FRIZZELL Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be born into country music royalty? Award winning Artist, Corey Frizzell was born in Country Music Royalty, as the nephew of Country Stars, David & Lefty Frizzell and the son of Nashville Recording Artist, Allen Frizzell, Corey is carrying on the family name while blazing a path of his own.  The Frizzell family, most famous for its prominence on the Country Music charts, is now witnessing the artistic successes of the second generation. Corey falls somewhere in the middle of the six children spanning four decades of Allen Frizzell, former Nashville recording artist and younger brother to Lefty and David. Although he has siblings following in the Frizzell music footsteps, who have accepted the challenge of emerging from the giant shadow first cast by music family patriarch, Lefty Frizzell, Corey chose a different path, a path to create his own shadow.  Corey has been a Golden Gloves Boxing Champion, acted in movies, TV and music videos. If that's not interesting enough, he's now a Writer and  award winning Visual Artist in high demand, creating custom portraits and stunning graphics. Mike & Corey Frizzell talk about Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard, Whitey Shafer, Boxing, Songwriting, Art, and Video Games.
