Product Description
When he stepped onto the Austin City Limits stage for the very first time on that brisk January day in 1978, Merle Haggard was at the top of his game. It had been over a decade since his first national hit, "Sing A Sad Song," and not that long after Okie from Muskogee had firmly planted his music in the public consciousness. He had already been declared Entertainer of the Year by both the Country Music Awards and Academy of Country Music in the same year (1970). He had just released A Tribute to the Best Damn Fiddle Player in the World (Or My Salute to Bob Wills), which sparked a revival of interest in western swing. And with his band, the Strangers, it’s no stretch to say that he had the best live show in country music of his day. This package contains both a CD and DVD of Merle Haggard’s very first Austin City Limits performance, recorded in January, 1978, and contains 12 different songs than the previous Live From Austin, Texas release (recorded in 1985.)
Track Listing:
1. Working Man Can t Get Nowhere Today
2. Silver Wings
3. Ramblin’ Fever
4. The Fugitive Song
5. Sing Me Back Home
6. Orange Blossom Special
7. Old-Fashioned Love
8. Long Black Limousine
9. Cherokee Maiden
10. San Antonio Rose
11. Misery
12. The Farmer s Daughter
13. Brain Cloudy Blues
14. Workin’ Man Blues
