Hit: 5 Stars
Having been a fan of Merle since he issued his Mama Tried album it is wonderful to see him back on the Capitol label where he made all his classic tracks. This album proves the voice is still as individual as ever and the songs are still as involving as they ever were. He still writes and sings a love song as well as ever and, when he's not being romantic, is not afraid to let you know his point of view on anything from political correctness to the young people fighting in Iraq and elsewhere. It's just a shame his singles and albums don't still go automatically to No 1 in their respective charts. In a world full of cookie cutter Country singers it is great to hear an American oiginal doing what he does best - writing and performing moving and thought provoking songs. Every real Country fan should listen to this album - and buy it
Chicago Wind Poster
Merle Haggard's return to his original label, Capitol Records, has revitalized him creatively and musically. Slick but unobtrusive production by Jimmy Bowen (Haggard's old MCA producer) and Mike Post showcase his vocals--as strong as they've been in years--on a blend of Haggard originals and skillfully chosen covers. The atmospheric title track vividly evokes desolation and loneliness. "Where's All the Freedom" and "Rebuild America First" reflect Haggard's thoughtful, libertarian patriotism, the latter including an unsubtle jab at the war in Iraq. "What I've Been Meaning to Say" and "Mexico" reaffirm Haggard's continued skill at creating brilliant love songs. "Some of Us Fly," a philosophical duet with Toby Keith, showcases Keith's often-underrated skills as a balladeer. The cover numbers--Willie Nelson's "It Always Will Be" and "Leavin's Not the Only Way to Go," one of Roger Miller's more reflective songs--fit hand in glove with the originals. Many perceive Haggard as a legend. Yet on Chicago Wind, he demonstrates the ability to remain timeless, yet thoroughly of the moment. --Rich Kienzle
