Classic Haggard These are superb albums, and pre-date the tired sound that seem to be present in later Haggard recordings. This CD contains the recordings of two of Merle's earlier Albums. A lot of good music here. The last album present on the CD contains a selection of numbers that Merle has chosen. They are prefaced by a short verbal intro by Merle himself, giving a little background on each song. It's a fine look into the stylings and influences of Haggard. The recording and mixing of this CD are excellent; it is a very enjoyable collection that will remain in your rotation. B+. 2 great albums from the 70's So it's a nice surprise to see 2 great records on one disc. I have played both of these albums over and over again. 1971 saw the release of "Hag" which featured 4 hits with no filler what so ever. My favorite song from the album is "Shelly's Winter Love". "Let me tell you about a song" from 1972 combines great stories and song. This album has many autobiographical elements in it from Merle. This is a must have for every Hag fan!!!!.
