Merle Haggard - The Original Outlaw Artist: Merle Haggard Review: Merle Haggard's toughest song may be his 1968 country hit "I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am."

Merle Haggard Photo Gallery: Snapshots Of A BadassPhotograph by Martin Schoeller Merle Haggard is one of the biggest badasses in the history of badassery. Cycling through a life of juvenile detention centers as a kid and prisons as an adult, Haggard became the ragged edge of the Bakersfield Sound in the ’60s, and tattered face of the outlaw country movement of the ’70s. In Rolling Stone’s new issue, Jason Fine runs down the sordid history of this guitar-slinger, who’s currently enjoying a new resurgence of popularity. Check out our Merle Haggar

John Anderson - Easy Money Artist: John Anderson Review: Aiding Shelton along with George Jones on Shelton's finale is new traditionalist stalwart Anderson, returned to the label of his Eighties heyday by producer John Rich of Big and Rich.
