Comment:

Haggard's done some of his finest work with some of the finest musicians country has ever produced . . . and we have the proof right here. Merle and Willie Nelson mesh like sagebrush and cowpokes in their chart-topping cover of "Pancho and Lefty," Townes Van Zandt's woe-ridden tale of life and death among the outlaws. A couple of ex-wives make appearances on Haggard hits: Wife #2, Bonnie Owens, plays the vocal rose to Merle's briar in "Just Between The Two Of Us," and former Loretta Lynn bassist Leona Williams (Wife #3) engages Hag in a little risqué business in the good-buddy CB-radio banter of "The Bull and the Beaver." Finally, Western swing revivalists (and, along with Merle, unabashed Bob Wills fans) Asleep At the Wheel bring Haggard up to share the stage on a W.C. Handy-goes-to-Dixieland reading of "St. Louis Blues." From the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Peter Wolf, some of your favorite — and, sometimes, the most unexpected — artists have shared the mic, and the music, with Merle.
