1972 – CAPITOL NASHVILLE
Produced By KEN NELSON
1. Okie From Muskogee
2. Hungry Eyes
3. Workin’ Man Blues
4. The Farmer’s Daughter
5. Daddy Frank (The Guitar Man)
6. Today I Started Lovin’ You Again
7. Mama Tried (The Ballad From Killers Three)
8. Silver Wings
9. No Reason To Quit
10. Every Fool Has A Rainbow
11. The Fightin’ Side Of Me
The most outlaw of the outlaws. Merle Haggard was one bad hombre. He spent much of his life up to the age of 23 incarcerated, and turned his life around with music after seeing Johnny Cash perform at San Quentin in 1959. How big a star did he become? His first 25 studio albums reached the Country top 10. He had a slew of hits, and was even pardoned for any past crimes he may have committed by then California Governor Ronald Reagan in 1972. Merle, as I said, was one bad hombre. This collection is an absolute gem. It covers the period between 1968 (“Mama Tried”) and 1972 (“Daddy Frank”), and the only thing you might say against it is that it could have easily been twice as long. But it was a number one album, and has been certified platinum for good reason: there is no such thing as too much Merle Haggard.
This was a full decade before Haggard would begin recording with Willie Nelson. But from the start. Merle knew how to write a great song, and he sure knew how to deliver it. He was political and outspoken, and he channeled his feelings wisely. This little compilation is so important…it’s Haggard at his early best with his band The Strangers stirring things up and building his reputation as one of the few true outlaws of country music. This is eleven tracks of musical bliss, one absolute classic song after another. From his stab at the hippie protesters in “Okie From Muskogee”, to his strong beliefs in standing up for what you believe in (“The Fightin’ Side Of Me”), and songs about prison and work and love and just being who he was, this is just one slice of Merle Haggard that everyone should hear. Because Merle Haggard was, indeed, one bad hombre. No one did it better than he did. [First added to this chart: 06/07/2025]
