Description:

This concise collection of Merle Haggard`s chart-topping songs shows both his writing skill and his ability to unerringly hit a nerve with the American public. Blue-collar songs, drinking songs, outlaw songs, and prison songs are all well-represented here. Barroom songs like "I Think I`ll Just Stay Here and Drink," well-known redneck anthems like "The Fightin` Side of Me" and "Okie From Muskogee," and hard-edged yet deeply felt songs like "If We Make It Through December" and "It`s Not Love (But It`s Not Bad)" illustrate Haggard`s identification with his hardscrabble roots and his remarkable facility with a lyric.
