Watch out, Remake Alert

"A few years ago, Merle Haggard sat down and remade almost all of his biggest hits in a mamoth recording session. Now all of these songs are spreading around to every cheap record company who repackages them.



Be careful, everything here is remakes."

"Yeah, Haggard did rerecord a lot of songs, but it is apparent that the other reviewer did not listen to this CD. It is a live CD. It is poorly marketed, as it does not specified that it is live. It is a budget CD, so it is not like one is out much money purchasing it.



I recommend it, because I am a huge Merle Haggard fan. If one is trying to listen to Haggard for the first time, then there are plenty of other collections to go after first, because these live songs are not as good as the originals. Nothing ever is."
