Record Review
‘Merle Haggard and the Stangers
Someday We'll Look Back
Hag has done it again! This
has got to be the best country
- and western album of the year
by a male vocalist, and that
includes Charlie Pride who has
usurped every country recor-
ding award this year. Nothing
against Mr. Pride, mind you.
Every since ‘‘Okie From
Muskogee’, Merle has been
laying low. Criticism con-
' cerning ‘references to hippies
and the life-style of American
youth in that song, has caused
Merle, I think, to re-evaluate his
understanding towards the
young. Now he has written “Big
Time’ Annie’s Square’;
friends, call her hippie— And
her friends call me big time
Annie’s square’, ‘Annie’s
friends gdon’t question— The
square {hn known as big time
Annie's square’. Hag sure has
~ been going through some
changes.
There’s a trilogy of songs on
the album; ‘California Cotton-
fields’, “Tulare Dust’, and
“One Row at A Time’. All are
about cotton picking. The’
former two songs look back
when Merle was a child,
dipicting the sad plight of the
poor Okies who had to abandon
their homesteads; ‘California
cottorgfields — Where labor
camps$were filled with weary
men with broken dreams —
California = cottonfields —
As cop wealth as daddy ever
came’. "These lyrics weren't
composed by Merle, but I
couldn’t imagine anyone im-
proving upon this version.

song, “Someday We'll Look
Back” is a fitting opening,
considering much of the album
concerns itself with the hard
times of the past. “Train of
Life’’ written by that Nashville
picker turned motel tycoon
Roger Miller; ‘‘One Sweet
Hello’ a mellow love song; “I'd
‘Rather Be Gone’’, which was a
hit for Hank Williams Jr.;
“Carolyn’’ has Glen Campbell
doing harmony behind
Haggard, and ‘The Only
Trouble With Me”. All in all a
fine collection of country songs,
some deeply rooted in folk
music, much in the vein of
Woodie Guthrie.
The Strangers support is , and
their musicianship shines
through on every song. The
Strangers are simply one of the
greatest country bands around,
and you won't find an orchestra
and chorus anywhere to muddle
their sound.
If you haven’t picked up on
this album yet I strongly
suggest you do. And if you
haven't picked up on Merle
Haggard, you don’t know what
you've been missing.
