The Fightin' Side of Me: 15 #1 Hits (2003)

About this title: The Fightin' Side of Me: 15 #1 Hits is a 15-track budget-priced collection that features some of Merle Haggard's biggest hits, but unfortunately in re-recorded versions. The majority of tracks are from Haggard's Capitol songbook, including "Sing Me Back Home," "Okie from Muskogee," "The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde," "It's All in the Movies," "Mama Tried," and "The Fightin' Side of Me." Although this isn't a bad budget-priced disc, there are far better collections available, offering more songs in the original hit versions. Al Campbell, All Music Guide
