Merle Haggard Album: “Super Hit Set: 34 Songs”

Description :

This collection of Merle Haggard hits merely scratches the surface of the Bakersfield singer's prolific output, but with songs like the redneck anthem "Okie From Muskogee," which earned the ex-convict a pardon from Ronald Reagan, the prison lament "Sing Me Back Home," covered by artists including the Flying Burrito Brothers, and the bad boy classic "Mama Tried," it's still a superlative set. Other highlights include the beautiful "Silver Wings," the patriotic "Fightin' Side of Me," and the timeless barroom anthem "Swinging Doors."

- Haggard Recordings

A great collection of songs. A miserable collection of recordings. It sounds as if they were all recorded over two days when the Hag had a cold. Not the original recordings. It hurts to listen to these versions.

James Arthur (Memphis, TN USA) - January 08, 2001

- Merle Haggard Super Hits 2 CD Set

It is a doulbe CD with all the favorites listed. However, the recordings of these hit songs is a watered down "Nashville" style re-recording that hurts to listen to. And there is no notation on the cover letting the buyer know this information. It leads you to believe that they are the original recordings.
