OK, if you're just looking at the cover of this CD in your local store, or online, you think you're getting eight Merle Haggard classics, but, be warned, these are the same "sound-alike" remakes that are on the "For The Record" collection. These recordings were actually recorded in 1995 to round out the "Super Hits" cds Haggard made for CBS, and while they are pretty good, they are far inferior to the original Capitol and MCA recordings of these songs.
If you're looking for a good budget Haggard CD, go for the Best of the Best of Merle Haggard on Capitol. Don't waste your time on these remakes.
