Wikipedia:

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country and Western song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler, and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era.

By the 1970s, Haggard was aligned with the growing outlaw country movement, and has continued to release successful albums through the 1990s and into the 2000s. In 1994, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 1997, he was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.

Merle Haggard is still country music's standard-bearer of blue-collar authenticity, and this collection – part tribute, part label showcase – features hard-partying Nashville heartthrobs like Jake Owen and Dustin Lynch pledging allegiance and hoping to gain some credibility. Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley do a melodramatic arena-rock version of "Pancho and Lefty," and Garth Brooks ("Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down") and Randy Houser ("Ramblin' Fever") fare better playing it safe. Merle's son Ben delivers "Mama Tried" and "Sing Me Back Home" – standouts that leave you craving more Haggard.
