Merle Haggard Album: “Live at Billy Bob's Texas: Ol' Country Singer”
Description :
Personnel: Merle Haggard (vocals, guitar); Freddy Powers (vocals, guitar); Janie Fricke (vocals); Norman Stephens (guitar); Norman Hamlet (steel guitar, dobro); Scott Joss (fiddle); Don Markham (saxophone, trumpet, background vocals); Doug Colosio (piano); Kevin Williams (bass guitar); Johnnie Barber (drums). <p>Recording information: Billy Bob's Texas, Ft. Worth, Texas. <p>This energetic live recording from the popular Fort Worth venue, Billy Bob's, finds Merle Haggard in feisty form performing a wide variety of his hits, as well as a couple of Hank Williams songs and some Western swing-influenced crowd-pleasers like "Get Along Home Cindy." The set swings easily from the uptempo Bakersfield sound of "Runaway Mama" to the sentimental "Farmer's Daughter," while the aging country singer's lament, "Footlights," is a particular highlight.

- Long live this country music icon

There really isn't much to write about a Haggard live cd as most of us know we are getting pure, unwatered down and undiluted country music. From a country music icon and living legend.

As with any live cd or studio for that matter Merle is backed by his road band of all these years "The Strangers" For a man who is nearly 70 years old, While his age is showing on his face is voice is still as crisp and smooth as blended whiskey. Though Okie From Muskogee isn't here, he makes up for it with all his other hits. He pays tribute to "All the Johnny Cash Fans" with a steller cover of "Folsom Prison Blues" He also hasn't forgetten his other musically hero's Jimmie Rodgers and Bob Wills. He features Freddy Powers long time member of "The Strangers" on Ol' Country Singer in both the live and studio ver. Despite the fact I have 3 other live Hag cds. This is a great addtion.
