Merle Haggard was an influential American country music singer, guitarist, fiddler, and songwriter. Born on April 6, 1937 in Bakersfield, CA, he left a lasting impact on the genre until his death on April 6, 2016 in Palo Cedro, CA - coincidentally his 79th birthday. Throughout his career, Haggard married multiple times including Leona Williams from 1978 to 1983 and Theresa Lane Haggard from 1993 until his passing.

Haggard's talent extended beyond just singing as he also played guitar and fiddle. His unique style blended traditional country with honky-tonk and outlaw influences. He released numerous studio albums throughout his career which were recorded at Talley Studios.

Often compared to legendary artists such as George Jones, Waylon Jennings, and Loretta Lynn among others; Merle Haggard's music continues to resonate with fans of classic country today.

Three country No 1 albums dating from 1967, 1968 and 1970 from the legendary Merle Haggard. Okie From Muskogee made the US Pop charts, spending a year on them, with the single of the same name being a Top 50 hit. Okie From Muskogee was a career-changer for Haggard; for the next five years, he was the biggest country star in the US. Merle Haggard featured in the country music charts for an astonishing 40 years. Digitally remastered and slipcased, and with extensive new notes.
