Details: Amazon.caMerle Haggard’s recorded work sprawls out across four decades and a variety of record labels, making his numerous greatest-hits sets sometimes hard to sort out. This one comes from his five-year tenure (1976-81) on MCA, and while that was not exactly the Hag’s golden age, it still produced some wonderful songs, notably « I’m Always on a Mountain When I Fall, » « The Way I Am, » and « Leonard, » his tribute to Bakersfield legend Tommy Collins. It also produced some pretty silly stuff, too, such as « The Bull & the Beaver, » a duet with his wife, Leona Williams, which celebrates the (thankfully) long-forgotten CB-radio craze. This isn’t the place to start an appreciation of the Hag, but for those who’ve checked out the earlier periods of his career, it’s a worthwhile set. –Daniel Durchholz
