Last of the Breed

Last of the Breed (2007) more music like this

by Willie Nelson/Ray Price/Merle Haggard

The title Last of the Breed speaks with a defiance that, for the most part, the music on this album does not, and that's just as it should be -- while Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Ray Price are indeed among the last functioning practitioners of pure, unadulterated Western swing, honky tonk, or countrypolitan blues in the classic manner, on ...

A Taste of Yesterday's Wine

A Taste of Yesterday's Wine (1982) more music like this

by Merle Haggard/George Jones

So what happens when you put two country music legends on the same record? Apparently Epic and Columbia were big on finding out in the early '80s. This set of Merle Haggard and George Jones is only one of a series -- Willie Nelson did a mess of them with Haggard (which netted a hit with Townes Van Zandt's "Poncho and Lefty"), Ray Price, Leon ...

40 #1 Hits

40 #1 Hits (2004) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

With a title like 40 #1 Hits, it's easy to assume that the collection will contain nothing but number one hits, whether it's from the Billboard charts or Cash Box, and it's also easy to assume that it would contain all of an artist's number one hits. In the case of Merle Haggard's double-disc 2004 collection, neither is true. Using just the ...

Okie from Muskogee

Okie from Muskogee (1969) more music like this

by Merle Haggard & the Strangers

Okie from Muskogee was quickly recorded to cash in on the success of the title song, which became a pop music sensation upon its release in the fall of 1969. Haggard & the Strangers went to Muskogee, OK, where they ran through a number of their hits and working-class anthems. The first side is devoted to classics like "Mama Tried," "Swinging Doors ...

Back to the Barrooms

Back to the Barrooms (1980) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

"Memories and drinks don't mix too well/Jukebox records don't play those wedding bells." So begins "Misery and Gin," the opening track on Merle Haggard's strongest -- and second from last -- outing for MCA. While this album is deservedly known for its four classic drinking songs -- the aforementioned cut, "Back to the Barrooms," "I Don't Want to ...

Platoon (And Songs from the Era)

Platoon (And Songs from the Era) (1986) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

In compiling the soundtrack for Oliver Stone's Academy Award winning 1986 Vietnam War epic Platoon, producer Bud Carr opted to eschew original composition in favor of a collection of songs from the '60s in an attempt to capture the period. Many of the songs he selected were not even used in the film. The only excerpt from Georges Delerue's score ...

Pancho & Lefty [Bonus Tracks]

Pancho & Lefty [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this

by Merle Haggard/Willie Nelson

The remastered, expanded edition of Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson's 1982 classic, Pancho & Lefty, was well worth the wait. First, there's the sound. In the title cut, there are voices and guitars listeners have never heard before either on LP or CD. There are stunning little surprises like a keyboard or a marimba in "My Mary," or the subtle ...

Serving 190 Proof

Serving 190 Proof (1979) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

Haggard appears here in the midst of what he admitted was a mid-life crisis. That's no reason to dismiss this record, however, as crisis introspection served him well. Possibly the best of his MCA albums, it includes "Red Bandana," "My Own Kind of a Hat," and a brooding meditation on the emptiness of stardom called "Footlights." Dan Cooper, All ...

The Best of Gospel

The Best of Gospel (1989) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

MCA Special Products' The Best of Gospel contains five cuts apiece from Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. Both of the vocalists recorded this material later in their careers, and while they're no longer at the top of their game, they're still quite listenable. And even if there are no classic recordings here, there are several solid songs which ...

Big City

Big City (1981) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

When Merle Haggard & the Strangers, along with producer Lewis Talley, entered a recording studio in July of 1981 to make his debut album for Epic -- after leaving his long association with MCA -- he had no idea that just 48 hours later he and the band would leave, having recorded enough material for two albums, Big City and its follow-up, Going ...

If I Could Only Fly

If I Could Only Fly (2000) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

For all the '90s, Merle Haggard was stuck in a kind of exile, recording albums that were strangely perched between familiar Haggard material and futile compromises to a modern country radio that would never play material from veterans. Hag knew that he hadn't lost it, so when he finally ran out his contract for Curb, he smartly signed to Anti-, a ...

Rainbow Stew: Live at Anaheim Stadium (1981) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

Rainbow Stew: Live at Anaheim boasts an augmented Strangers, with former Texas Playboys Eldon Shamblin, Tiny Moore, and Gordon Terry and a horn section filling out the band's sound. The result is a wonderful, swinging album that brings a new spin not only to classics like "I'm a Lonesome Fugitive" and "Sing Me Back Home" but also to Hag's newer ...

A worthwhile, 10-track budget-line collection, The Best of Country Blues includes his treatments of Bob Wills and Jimmie Rodgers, plus original material, all taken from his heyday at Capitol Records. Richard Lieberson, All Music Guide

20 Greatest Hits (2002) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

For the money, you are not going to find a more definitive Greatest Hits by Merle Haggard. There are 20 cuts on this baby and all of 'em were bona fide hit singles that basically defined the man's well-earned reputation as a great poet of the working class -- not to mention as a country songwriter. Haggard's Epic period may not be here, nor ...

Same Train, Different Time (1969) more music like this

by Merle Haggard & the Strangers

Same Train, Different Time is Merle Haggard's affectionate tribute to Jimmie Rodgers. Haggard provides narration between the songs, offering tales of Rodgers' life and music. While the album is rooted in the past, the key to its success is how Haggard updates these traditional songs without losing sight of their roots. There are contemporary folk, ...

The Best of the Best of Merle Haggard [Capitol] (1972) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

Included is "Today I Started Loving You Again," "No Reason to Quit, " "Every Fool Has a Rainbow, " "Hungry Eyes" -- some of his best ballads plus the jingoistic faves "Okie from Muskogee" and "Fightin' Side of Me." There's a few duds, though -- some of the early Capitol albums are more consistent. George Bedard, All Music Guide

I'm a Lonesome Fugitive/Branded Man (2006) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

In early 2006, roughly in time for the 40th anniversary of Merle Haggard's debut album, Capitol Nashville launched an ambitious Haggard catalog project, reissuing ten albums as a series of five two-fers, each adorned with bonus tracks. All these albums had been reissued before, either stateside by Capitol or Koch or in the U.K. by EMI or BGO, but ...

Award Winning Gospel Hits (2004) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

Award Winning Gospel Hits is the same album as the Cabin in the Hills title that Merle Haggard offers on his website -- his first gospel album of the 21st century. The difference is the front cover. This one does not have the painting of Jesus kneeling in the Garden of Gethsemane, being that it might be harder to sell because of its garishness. ...

A Christmas Present (1973) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

While Hag keeps the mood light with selections such as "Santa Claus and Popcorn" and more traditional fare, he also has some bite with the high and lonesome "Daddy Won't Be Home for Christmas." His matter-of-fact tale about layoffs at the factory, "If We Make It Through December," has become timeless in tough times. Dennis MacDonald, All Music ...

Though there are better, more thorough compilations on the market, 20 Hits Special Collection, Vol. 1 remains a good choice ...

16 Biggest Hits (1998) more music like this

One could easily get the impression, just perusing the front and back covers of this album, that it contains the original recordings of some of Merle Haggard's most popular recordings -- this is, as a sleeve note puts it, a "unique, chronological collection." In fact, 13 of the 16 tracks are re-recordings made by Haggard in October 1994; only "Big ...

Hag: The Best of Merle Haggard (2006) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

There are perhaps as many as a hundred Merle Haggard compilations out there on labels obscure and well-known. Most of them are crap because they present too few of the great songwriter's works and/or do so in a dodgy manner. Hag: The Best of Merle Haggard, issued by Capitol, isn't one of them. In fact, it just may be the best single-disc ...

Down Every Road (1996) more music like this

by Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard is a rarity: a complex artist whose rich scope can accurately be summarized through singles, but who has far more great material than can be fit on one or two discs. Which, of course, makes him the perfect candidate for a box set, and Capitol released the first comprehensive Hag retrospective in 1996 with the four-disc set Down Every ...
