Merle Haggard    Wikipedia: Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country and Western song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler, and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. By the 1970s, Haggard was aligned with the growing outlaw country movement, and has continued to release successful albums through the 1990s and into the 2000s. In 1994, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 1997, he was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame. HAG The Best Of Merle Haggard  Released April 22, 1971 Recorded March, July, August, September 1970 Capitol Records Studio, Hollywood, CA and RCA Victor Studios, Nashville, TN Genre Country Label Capitol ST-735 Producer Ken Nelson Hag was Haggard's first album with a majority of original songs in two years, following two tribute albums (to Jimmie Rodgers and Bob Wills) and two live albums in 1969 and 1970. While Hag spawned no #1 hits, it did include three singles that went to number 3. In his 2013 book The Running Kind, Haggard biographer David Cantwell contends that Hag is was "the most sustained and closest-to-coherent political statement of his career...The world Hag portrays on Hag is one teetering on the brink. From atop some middle-American watchtower, Merle delivers a nearly despairing state of the union." The album opens with the Ernest Tubb World War II era-hit "Soldier's Last Letter," a song that took on a new relevance in 1971 with America's continued involvement in the Vietnam War. Haggard addresses social issues plaguing the country at home, such as street violence ("Jesus Take Hold") and homelessness ("Sidewalks of Chicago"). The LP also contains some of Haggard's most delicately sung love songs, such as the melancholy "Shelly's Winter Love" and "The Farmer's Daughter." Haggard would rerecord "No Reason to Quit" for his 1983 duet album Pancho and Lefty with Willie Nelson.  1 The Bottle Let Me Down 2:48 2 Branded Man 3:07 3 Sing Me Back Home 2:50 4 The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde 2:05 5 Today I Started Loving You Again 2:22 6 Mama Tried 2:13 7 I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am 2:49 8 I'm Bringing Home Good News 2:49 9 Hungry Eyes 3:27 10 Workin' Man Blues 2:35 11 Silver Wings 2:44 12 Okie From Muskogee 2:44 13 The Fightin' Side of Me 2:54 14 Someday We'll Look Back 2:33 15 If We Make It Through December 2:44 16 Things Aren't Funny Anymore 2:44 17 Honky Tonk Night Time Man 2:39 18 Old Man From the Mountain 2:20 19 Living With the Shades Pulled Down 2:58 20 I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink 4:32 21 Big City 3:00 22 Pancho and Lefty 4:48 23 I'm Leaving Now 3:08 24 Runaway Mama 4:08 25 That's the News 2:34 26 She Ain't Hooked on Me No More 3:36 Personnel: Merle Haggard – vocals, guitar Roy Nichols – guitar Red Lane – guitar Bobby Wayne – guitar Norman Hamlet – pedal steel guitar, dobro Dennis Hromek – bass Biff Adam – drums Johnny Gimble – fiddle Earl Ball – piano George French – piano Glen D.
