The Two Ages of Merle
Merle the younger and Merle the Elder, with
two quite different voices both equally plesant to listen to. There are two Merle Haggard's. Merle the younger sings a bit
higher and always returns to his favorite phrasing. Merle the Elder has a bit deeper range and
more variety in style. Both Merles are great listening and I listen so much I am now comfortable signing Merle songs at local Karaoki bars. This album is Merle the Younger and I recommend it strongly i you like Merle at all.
I've heard Merle now lives in the Redding area for the fishing. So if you are out fishing sometime and hear an old fisherman humming Merle tunes it might just be Merle. .


We're Bar Room Buddies (and that's the WORST kind!)
First off. . Bar Room Buddies was originally released in 1980 on the Elektra label, not Capital. And the soundtrack was not "Any Which Way You Can", it was "Bronco Billy".
I own the vinyl soundtrack, cassette, and the promo 45 single (B/W The Not So Great Train Robbery).

Capital could've remastered this song and got rid of the pops and scratches, better yet remaster it off the analog cassette, which would've sounded a whole lot better.
I was able to remaster it myself from my cassette tape soundtrack, which came out like a champ and way better than the Capital release, and it only took a minute to do!

Capital Records. . . SHAME ON YOU!!!

Everything else on this compilation is great (including Bar Room Buddies if it only sounded great), and good selections.

WOW
Awesome collection for someone who enjoys Merle, but cant afford every CD he has out.


Super
Wow!!! If only I could go back to the 80's and do it all over again. I have seen Merle in person and recommend EVERYONE to do the same. !!.


Classic!
I can listen to it everyday. A collection of classic Merle Haggard.
Great selection.
