Date undefinedvery good musicians on this session, but merle haggard is still merle and blugrass instrumentation does not change that.
The Bluegrass Sessions
Date undefinedMerle Haggard is for me the Tony Bennet of country music. With age, his voice has grown mellower and even easier on the ear. He can make a song sound like a classic, even if it isn't particularly memorable. As others have said here, it's not bluegrass by a long shot, but the unplugged arrangements give an intimacy that feels nicely personal. If you like Haggard's deep, resonant voice, you'll enjoy listening to all the songs on this CD. They range from the light-hearted opener "Runaway Mama" to the tearful "Learning to Live With Myself" and the anti-urban lament "Big City." Speaking of which, it makes for great freeway listening on that slow commute home from work.
