Kratzt an der Oberfläche!!!
Merle Haggard hat in den 60ern ein grandioses Album nach dem andern veröffentlicht, gerade das Vorurteil Country kann nicht auf Album Länge überzeugen wird durch diese klassischen LPs wiederlegt. Merle Haggard war in diesen Jahren unfehlbar, klasse Songe (ob selbstkomponiert oder gecovert), perfektes Backing (die Strangers sind eine der besten Bands aller Zeiten - so reduziert und stimmig klangen nur noch die Beatles auf "Rubber Soul", Merles Stimme. Diese LPs gehören in jeden Plattenschrank! Meine Top 10: 1. Sing me back home 2. Same Train,... 3. Mama tried 4. Im a lonesome fugitive 5. Branded man 6. Ballad of Bonnie & Clyde 7. Swingin doors... 8. Strangers 9. Tribute to the best damn fiddle player (ist von '70) 10. Pride in what I am Kann man alle bedenkenlos kaufen, die 40 Hits sind natürlich nur ein Überblick, bei der Quantität und vor allem Qualität die Merle über die Jahre produzierte - die 60er sind durch gerade einmal 10 der 40 Aufnahmen hier repräsentiert. Merle Haggard veröffentllichte ab den 70ern auch mittelmäßige LPs (mit dem ein oder anderen Highlight), ich kenne nicht nur die 60er Aufnahmen, sie sind für mich aber der Standard. Für den ersten Kontakt mit Country oder Merle Haggard ist diese Zusammenstellung ganz OK. Neben den gennannten Capitol LPs braucht man anschließend Johnny Cash: At Folsom Prison (als Überblick: the man in black) George Jones: A picture of me without you (als Überblick: The essential...) Hank Williams: Complete... (zum Einstieg vielleicht erst 40 Greatest Hits) Carter Family: 1927 - 1934 (JSP - wenn man ein paar ? mehr in der Tasche hat, unbedingt das Bear Family Box set besorgen)

It wasn't always easy to collect all Merle's classic songs that really mattered. The boxed set, Down every road, made that task very easy for those who could afford it. Now comes this double-CD containing forty of his most important songs. Some songs, now regarded as classics, were released only as B-sides weren't released on singles at all, or didn't reach the top of the charts, so this set will not satisfy some diehard fans. Among the songs that do not qualify for inclusion here are Today I started loving you again, Silver wings, All my friends are gonna be strangers, Swinging doors, Bottle let me down and I take a lot of pride in what I am. Nevertheless, this is the strongest collection you're ever likely to find of Merle's music on a double-CD. The set contains all 38 of his Billboard number one country hits, plus two that made number two. It may be that these two (If we're not back in love by Monday, I'm always on a mountain when I fall) made number one in some other chart - if not, the album title is inaccurate, but that doesn't affect the quality of the music, which covers his recordings for Capitol, MCA and Epic. Getting all three in one double-CD is a huge benefit to fans. The tracks included here are the songs that established Merle's reputation and sustained it. Songs like Hungry eyes, Mama tried and Branded man tell of his troubled early life and coming to terms with it. Merle stood up for what he believed in songs like Okie from Muskogee and Fighting side of me. He sang about overcoming hardship in Daddy Frank and If we make it through December. He sang of yearning in Always wanting you (apparently written about Dolly Parton), Big city and Sing me back home. Merle sang some brilliant love songs including It's all in the movies, My favorite memory, That's the way love goes and A place to fall apart. He also recorded plenty of duets although only two of them qualified for this set, these being Yesterday's wine (with George Jones) and Pancho and Lefty (with Willie Nelson). Other classic songs feature here include Legend of Bonnie and Clyde, Working man blues, Old man from the mountain, Kentucky gambler, Moving on, Cherokee maiden and Roots of my raising. This is the best introduction to Merle's music there is, unless you want to go for the boxed set. It contains nearly all the classic songs and the few it doesn't can be found easily if you want them.
