Album Notes
A 10-song Haggard best-of, and, as usual, the only thing wrong with it is that doesn't have another 30 or 40 songs. What's here though is uniformly choice and vividly rendered in Haggard's patented country-minimalist stark, yet emotional style. This collection omits his funny, poignant drinking songs, but you can't go wrong with its deep country blues ("I'm a Lonesome Fugitive," the agonizing "Branded Man"), cautionary autobiographical tunes (the delicate, guitar-laced "Mama Tried" is as pretty as country gets) and the extraordinary "Carolyn," which is about a husband who strays with hookers(!) "Okie From Muskogie" and "The Fightin' Side of Me," the two anti-counter-culture tunes jar a little bit, not because of their sentiment (actually, the joke is that they don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee) but because compared to the other songs, which seem to exist out of time completely, they're obviously dated.
