Merle Haggard Album: “Greatest Hits (Delta 2-CD set)”

Description :

Though hits throughout the 1960s and '70s like "Okie From Muskogee," "Fightin' Side of Me," and "Workin' Man Blues" established Merle Haggard's redneck reputation, there has always been more than one side to the conservatively inclined country singer. As this double-CD set shows, Haggard is also capable of writing tender love songs like "Always Wanting You" and "Carolyn," both of which display unexpected emotional depth, while the nuanced "It's Not Love (But It's Not Bad)" demonstrates a hard-edged realism tinged with sadness.
