Merle Haggard’s debut, ‘Down Every Road (CD 3)’, does not fit easily into one genre. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Merle Haggard has. This album has some very good songs like Right Or Wrong and Trouble In Mind. One of Merle Haggard’s best albums yet.
Trouble In Mind is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Merle Haggard sings his heart out in Stay A Little Longer. Simple and heartfelt closing track The Farmer’s Daughter closes Down Every Road (CD 3) on a high note. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Tulare Dust from the beginning to the end. This song may be the most meaningful. |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Daddy Frank (The Guitar Man) is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. Grandma Harp - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. It’s Not Love (But It’s Not Bad) is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. One listen to the sheer beauty of I Wonder If They Ever Think Of Me was all I needed. If We Make It Through December - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. The Emptiest Arms In The World one of the best in my collection. Everybody’s Had The Blues to me is the best you can get from Merle Haggard. I love the melodic melody of Things Aren’t Funny Anymore and to this day it makes me feel good. Honky Tonk Night Time Man is a good listen every once in a while. Holding Things Together - This is a very lively song. I like Here In Frisco because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Kentucky Gambler is simply perfect. After you’ve listened to Always Wanting You, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. Running Kind motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. It’s All In The Movies is a strong cut, one of many. The Way It Was In ‘51 is probably the highlight of the album. You have to get essence of the I Never Go Around Mirrors’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. What Have You Got Planned Tonight Diana is pretty funky and mellow.
