VERY COOL MERLE WISHES HE WAS SANTA,THE GREAT WILLIE NELSON SONG "EL NINO" AND OF COURSE MERLES "IF WE MAKE IT THRU DECEMBER" IT A GREAT WORK
Since this album came out on vinyl our family has started Christmas day with Merle Haggard.
the first thing I do after giving the cosmic wife a Christmas kiss is put this cd on constant rotation while we open our presents.
Hell, my kids think that everoyne does this on Christmas morning and they are 21 and 17 yrs old.
hope this is as good as everything else by merle...sure it will be..he's an america ledgend ..for real...
The 5 CD "Untamed Hawk" collection is a better anesthetic than a bottle of gin... How long do you say "I love you" just to hear it echo into silence? Where do you go when you suspect you've become a placeholder until something else comes along? Or when the things she lets slip reveal she's keeping you because she fears nobody will love her the same, but you aren't what she really wants. Well, I suppose you can hope that time will prove you wrong. Me? I can think good things for a while. But If those pretty lips of yours don't start telling me I'm mistaken I'll sadly kiss them for the last time. And then I'll listen to "Misery and Gin" and pray the picture fades.
Merle Live at Billy Bob's is excellent. this man has been putting out stuff for 40 years and he just gets better. I cannot believe how he has kept his voice for so long and how he continues to write great songs. It's a shame that he music is not played on the radio.
Looks like the fRAT rockers and their fans like to say names like Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings, but when Merle has 2 reviews and Cross Canadian Has 400+. . . that's just wrong.
