"I have always liked to listen to Merle Haggard, when I heard a couple of songs off this new album I just had to buy it to add to my collection of Merle Haggard's music."
Our greatest living vocal stylist

"I heard Merle sing the title track (If I Could Only Fly) at Bonnaroo this past weekend and many grown men wept openly. He sings off the beat better than anybody else who ever lived."
One of the very very best

"I bought this CD years ago, when it first came out, with the other cover (just Merle's characterful face, staring out of a full-face portrait). It was the first of his I'd bought, and it has become one of my all-time favorite recordings.
No need to cover the ground that everyone else here has, suffice it to say that it bleeds genuine feeling, excellent songwriting and song selection, spare but perfect instrumentation and those ever-so-excellent vocals. Quirky, too. Who'd have thought Merle would pen an ode to safe sex, in western swing style (Bareback)?
You should buy this CD."
This album is really really good

"Merle, you have so much talent, I wish you the best luck and good times. Thank you for your music. It means so much to us, your fans. I wish the big labels would give you freedom to record new songs and the radio would play them. But anyways I'm happy that you seem to have found peace in your life, which I hear on this album.
I have listened to this album a lot during the last few years and I never get tired of it. Keep recording when the fish aren't biting. I'll be there to buy the album if you put another one out. I sure hope you do!"
