With a life history that includes a tenure in San Quentin, a trip to the Nixon-era White House, 39 #1 country hits, and the distinction of being the only California-born singer in the Country Music Hall of Fame, Haggard has influenced an incalculable number of artists, including rock acts like Elvis Costello and The Grateful Dead. His most enduring songs, 1969’s “Okie From Muskogee” -- an anti-hippie ode if ever there was one -- the following year’s conservative rant “The Fightin’ Side Of Me,” and 1973’s “If We Make It Through December,” made him a household name. By the mid 1980s, Haggard’s chart success began to wane, scoring his last #1 with 1987’s “Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star.” In early 2000, after a decade of label woes and a bankruptcy, Haggard signed with Epitaph Records affiliate Anti, and began recording, If I Could Only Fly, his most anticipated album in years.     Merle Haggard Lullaby LiquidAudio,MP3 Alt-Country A bittersweet piece of pure brilliance from the legendary country crooner.
