 Rating: - Congratulations Capitol countryCapitol country has done a fantastic job with these five 2 CD sets of Haggard's early Capitol LP's.

From the get-go Haggard was a force; wedding the directness of Johnny Cash (who Haggard had famously seen perform at San Quentin in 1959) with the danceable Bakersfield beats of Buck Owens and Wynn Stewart (in whose bands Haggard played in the early '60s). He adopted the core of the Bakersfield Sound (including the crowd-piercing Telecaster guitar and driving rhythms), but tuned it with sorrow several shades deeper than the Saturday-night honky-tonk of Bakersfield's initial stars. Haggard's debut was constructed from six pre-Capitol sides recoded for the Tally label, ... Read More: |
