Rating:  - Like Finding An Old Friend
When I saw that this compilation was out, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had searched for "Someday We'll Look Back" for over 30 years, ever since my father took it to a party and lost it. (It was the only album that he and I both liked). I was unable to find more than a few songs from it here and there. Capitol pulled it from the shelves- I thought for good. All I had were the memories of the heartfelt songs that told the stories of so many folks who traded the midwest for California, and the ... Read More
Rating: - Haggard shines as he expands his songwriting territory
Out of all the recently remastered/reissued Merle Haggard twofers, Hag/Someday We'll Look Back is the least characteristically "Bakersfield"-sounding one. It's not really heavy on those wicked steel guitar licks or the go-for-broke background singers that I love so well, but guess what?? It's great anyway! On these two records, Merle really stretches out his songwriting, drawing more from blues, jazz and folk than ever before and crafting the most personal and emotional songs he'd ever done.

I was very pleased with the CD and enjoyed hearing some of the old songs again. I bought it because I have a friend that needed the words to "Jesus Take Ahold" as he is thinking of putting it on his next CD. I might have to get another one since he now has it.

I guess one of the things that makes country music so overwhelmingly appealing is the wide range of styles. Today country encompases everything from rockabilly, (Joe Diffie and Dwight Yoakham) to southern boogie, (Toby Keith and Charlie Daniels) to contemporary pop, (Dixie Chicks and Shania Twain). The question is how far astray can an artist go before the fans and critics begin to cry "Sell-Out". Well one artist that will never be accussed of 'selling-out" is Merle Haggard.

Rating: - Classic Hag -- Two Great Albums at a Great Price
Hag was Merle's first album of original songs following the meteoric rise he experienced from the success of "Okie." Released in 1971, Hag found Merle straddling the new-found establishment success and anti-hippie sentiment of much of his audience with his naturally tolerant, introspective, egalitarian, and contrarian nature.
Given the rift in America at that time over race relations, poverty, civil rights, and the war in Vietnam, several songs on Hag seem to directly address these issues: ... Read More
