Lefty is the seventh solo album by Art Garfunkel, released in 1988.
The album's cover photo shows a pre-teen Art Garfunkel holding a baseball bat in the front yard of his childhood home in the Forest Hills section of Queens, New York City. The picture was taken by his brother Jules. The album title came from the fact that Garfunkel is left-handed, which the picture established.
The album failed to make the top 100 in the U.S and hit the bottom half of the U.K. top 100. Despite this, it yielded three minor hit singles.
The liner notes of the album contain a brief prose text Garfunkel wrote in memory of his partner Laurie Bird who had committed suicide in 1979.
