"Going Where the Lonely Go", - what ever happened to great albums like this, a gem of the past, cause they sure don't make'm anymore. Going Where The Lonely Go, the Hag's best Epic effort, displays a good variety of songs, ballads, drinkin' songs, leaving songs, and Merle Haggard with the Strangers is at their very best playing tunes like, "Going Where The Lonely Go", "If I Left It Up To You", "I Won't Give Up My Train", "Why Am I Drinkin'", "For All I Know", "You Take Me For Granted", "Shopping For Dresses", and "Half A Man",- both are Jimmy Dickens and Willie Nelson originals. The second Epic album on this cd, "That's the Way Love Goes", not the greatest Merle Haggard album but seems to blend in well with GOING WHERE THE LONELY GO. That's the Way Love Goes, a classic Lefty Frizzell standard,(Frizzell one of the Hag's mentors) is the best tune on here and received alot of airplay and attention for Merle, and the same goes with, "What Am I Gonna Do With(The Rest Of My Life.)" and the notable, "Someday When Things Are Good". A Merle Haggard essential.

One of the best CD's I've listened to in a long time. Haggard's deep, smooth voice took me far, far away!! Thoroughly enjoy each and every song.

What else can you say but its Hag its great buy it.
