Album Notes Merle Haggard's hits have been anthologized many times by many different record companies, but for many years his actual albums, as they were originally released, were unavailable. Until the late 1980s, the country music industry was entirely oriented toward singles, and many artists exerted minimal effort to release quality albums. Haggard is the exception to that rule, always able to flesh out his albums with top-quality material. Among the non-single tracks on SING ME BACK HOME are such great originals as "Wine Take Me Away," "I'll Leave the Bottle on The Bar," and "Look Over Me." Haggard has never denied his debt to earlier country greats, and here he tips his hat to one of his favorites, Lefty Frizzell, with a fine cover version of "Mom and Dad Waltz."
