"I have played both of these albums over and over again. So it's a nice surprise to see 2 great records on one disc. 1971 saw the release of "Hag" which featured 4 hits with no filler what so ever. My favorite song from the album is "Shelly's Winter Love". "Let me tell you about a song" from 1972 combines great stories and song. This album has many autobiographical elements in it from Merle. This is a must have for every Hag fan!!!!"

Classic Haggard

"This CD contains the recordings of two of Merle's earlier Albums. These are superb albums, and pre-date the tired sound that seem to be present in later Haggard recordings. A lot of good music here. The last album present on the CD contains a selection of numbers that Merle has chosen. They are prefaced by a short verbal intro by Merle himself, giving a little background on each song. It's a fine look into the stylings and influences of Haggard. The recording and mixing of this CD are excellent; it is a very enjoyable collection that will remain in your rotation. B+"

The best ever

"I do not own the CD. I once own half of this CD on 8 track tape. It was when I was a little girl. We would play it over and over again in the car until finally it melted. This some of his best recordings. I have tried and tried to get record stations and Internet radio stations to play it, but to know avail. Buy this you won't be disappointed. The only thing disappointing is they do not allow you to listen to sound bytes before buying. I hope you all enjoy the cd. I may have to purchase it just to hear the other album."
