Lefty is the seventh solo studio album by American singer Art Garfunkel, released in 1988.
[1] The album's cover photo shows a pre-teen Art Garfunkel holding a stickball bat in the front yard of his childhood home in the Forest Hills section of Queens, New York City.
[1] The album title came from the fact that Garfunkel is left-handed, which the picture established.
The liner notes of the album contain a brief prose text Garfunkel had written in memory of his partner Laurie Bird who had committed suicide in 1979.
The album marked a new beginning in Garfunkel's professional life after becoming somewhat of a recluse following the tragedy.
