Rolling Stone (p.136) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Hag's Bakerfield country dust is still a revelatory sound: sweet acoustic guitar up top, mean drums below."
No Depression (p.p.97) - "As the succession of eclectic, timeless and life-filled songs on these discs remind us, what Haggard has been, and has been accepted as for decades, is one flexible, knowing, challenging song maker who never fails to entertain..."
Along with Buck Owens and Wynn Stewart, Merle Haggard created the Bakersfield country sound of the '60s, emphasizing two-part harmonies, tasty guitar solos, catchy choruses and a no-frills approach to production. To this, the singer/songwriter/guitarist adds his own jazzy Western swing touches. His distinctly proletarian lyrics alternate between classic honky-tonk barroom laments and the celebration of the blue-collar working man. Like many country stars of the '60s and '70s, Haggard slipped off the mainstream radar in the '80s and '90s, but made a Johnny Cash-like "comeback" with the poignant, sparsely produced IF I COULD ONLY FLY in 2000.
