Hit: 3 Stars
I heard an interview about this CD on the radio and they played one song "Learning to Live With Myself" which I really, really liked and granted, after buying the CD, a few songs were great, but there were also the normal 'ho-hum' songs that gives this CD (for me), the need to burn the songs off of it I liked, and give the CD to the library for them to loan out - Not a keeper.Free Music Review: Merle's best in some time
Hit: 5 Stars
This arrangement works. Haggard is one of the best songwriters in country music, and has one of the greatest singing voices of any genre. But his last several solo albums have not felt as inspired as this one. This album is different. The bluegrass arrangements are beautiful and perfectly complement his voice, which is gradually growing weaker as he grows older. The songwriting still bears the undeniable Haggard stamp, but the musical arrangements really breathe some fresh life into Merle's performance. It all sounds very honest; not contrived or calculated in the least. And the result is exciting, because I really didn't expect it to be as good as it is. But it is. A very difficult album not to enjoy and be moved by.Free Music Review: Merle Haggard's New CD

Although it's certainly not bluegrass, this is Merle-Music worth having. It is very personal, as are the liner notes by Marty Stuart that feel real good. Merle's "Mama's Hungry Eyes" is more touching than ever -- deep soul -- and Allison Kraus sings the most beautifully perfect harmony with him. That one song is worth listening to many times. The musicians on the album are as good as they get. Dan Erlewine, musician and guitar maker/repairman
