Of all of Art Garfunkels albums, I find this to be the weakest.

That is NOT to say it is bad, however. Each song has it's own charm.

I Wonder Why, When A Man Loves A Woman and If Love Takes You Away are my favourites.

King of Tonga is probably the most bizarre Garfunkel song I have ever heard, although it is capturing somehow.

The other songs all have their strong points, although they don't feel as epic as his best work, and they seem somewhat lost on this album.

Overall, Lefty doesn't quite reach Garfunkels usual standards, and I would not recommended this as the first Garfunkel CD to buy, that is Angel Clare, his first solo album.

Even though this album wasn't a big seller, its still a great album. The songs that were the best to me were the ones that have the word "LOVE" in them: "I Have A Love", "So Much In Love", "Love Is The Only Chain", "When A Man Loves A Woman", and "If Love Takes You Away". Of all the other songs, "This Is The Moment" was the best one to me. In my opinion, love ballads are the best songs that Artie sings, whether the albums are successful, or non-successful. Just about all recording artists go through a cycle like that. Artie is still a romantic, sounding singer.
