Merle Haggard

The word "legend" couldn't be more apt for Merle Haggard. It's an acknowledgement of his artistry and his standing as "the poet of the common man." It's a tribute to his incredible commercial success and to the lasting mark he has made, not just on the country genre, but on American music as a whole. Through deceptively simple lyrics and exceptionally listenable music, there is truth in the stories he tells.
