5.0 out of 5 stars The best country album of the Eighties., September 25, 2006

By	bestseller92 (Southeastern Oklahoma) - See all my reviews

I've been looking for this album on CD for at least 15 years. Why? Because it's Merle Haggard's best ever album, and the best country album of the 1980s. It's an absolute classic by a musical genius at the top of his game. "Make up and Faded Blue Jeans" and Merle's remake of Hank Jr.'s "I Don't Have Any More Love Songs" are worth the cost of the CD by themselves. HIGHEST recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Back to the Barrooms", Best Merle Haggard Album Ever!!!, January 13, 2006

By	Joseph L. Williams "RedneckGatorFan" (Pensacola, Fla) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the definitive merle Haggard album. Merle recorded this album in 1980 with MCA records and in fact the very first song "Misery and Gin" was in the motion picture "Bronco Billy" starring Clint Eastwood. It would be impossible to say which is my favorite song on this album because each one is a favorite to me, there is not a bad song on the disc at all. Merle Haggard is a class act and his music is some of the best in country music even today. If your a Merle Haggard fan and you don't have this album, I highly recomend you pick it up. Merle has other great albums as well but it is hard pressed to beat "Back to the barrooms". I also recomend his albums "The way I am" and "Going where the lonely go" but "Back to the Barrooms" is still the best. Hurry up!!! Amazon.com, get "Back to the Barrooms" on here for sale so the rest of the world can enjoy this musical legend like I enjoy him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haggard at his best, November 26, 2006

By	Someone Else (USA) - See all my reviews

This is probably the best Merle Haggard release ever. If there were two country albums I would recommend it would be this one and Haggard's "Serving 190 Proof." They are Haggard at his finest.

There is not an average cut on this album. They are all superb. For the price, you can't go wrong.
