Member CD Reviews Jim P. (Guitarmusiclover11) from BRUCE, WI Reviewed on 2/13/2011... This "Best of" collection has a whopping 26 songs and there ain't a "dog" in the bunch!
This isn't an all-inclusive disc. When you are talking about a legend like Merle Haggard and his lengthy,successful career you are probably looking for a 2 cd set to get every big hit that he produced. The quality is great and this is one of those cds that you can listen to frequently without getting tired of it. Grab it when you can. It's worth adding to your collection if you like Merle Haggard. CD ReviewsThe Best Single Disc Out There On This Artist Original Mixed Up-Kid | New York United States | 12/22/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I say artist since Merle is indeed an icon not some single/45 maker typically known to this genre of music but a serious artist that is best served up on individual albums showing his development or with the great box set "Down Every Road" that beautifully sums it all up and belongs in any serious CD collection. The song selection here on HAG is a great mix and flows seamlesly and is enough to turn any rock fan into a country fan. The sound is extraordinary as is the running time and liner notes and overall a great CD that included his famous duets with the great Johnny Cash(from the CASH CD Solitary Man),and the classic Willie Nelson cut Pancho and Lefty as well as a newer track with Toby Keith spanning a trip down memory lane circa 1962- 2005..Interesting photos of Merle standing over a grave site within as a middle age man with additional shots of him younger and the elder statesmen which he now is, akin to 2006 when this great CD hit. " Awesome Merle Haggard CD! J.L. Populist | WI,USA | 01/22/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "After browsing the songs on various "best of" Merle Haggard discs, I settled on "Hag: The Best of Merle Haggard".
I wasn't disappointed when I popped it in the stereo. The choice of songs was exactly what I was seeking. No live recordings. The quality is first-rate. The sound of "Workin' Man Blues", "Mama Tried", "Branded", "Okie From Muskogee",and "The Bottle Let Me Down" make this cd worth having for any Merle Haggard fan. I discovered songs that I wasn't as familiar with- "The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde" and "Old Man From The Mountain" to name two of them. These songs were as much a treasure as the more well-known standards. Merle Haggard is a legend both for his guitar playing talent and his songwriting for the common man. All of his best work is on this disc. " |
