5.0 out of 5 stars THIS is the ultimate Merle haggard biography!, December 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sing Me Back Home (Paperback)

Unlike the recent autobiography by Tom Carter, this is the book you want to read to get an in-depth, detailed look at the life of Merle Haggard. It's funny, touching, interesting....all kinds of emotions rolled-into one book. The reading is easy, yet it doesn't gloss over the events in Merle's life. It is much more interesting and educational than the new book that is out. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like It Is, April 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sing Me Back Home (Paperback)

Merle Haggard certainly told it like it was. He may not have told it all, but what he did tell will keep you riveted to your seat. He was country music's bad boy for a long time, and is still a little wild and crazy.
His early years in this book ought to be required reading for every young man, according to Johnny Cash, who pointed out that it is easy to get in trouble just for being adventuresome. Well, Merle certainly was that. His voice is clear in every word of this book and if you listen close you can hear him chuckle between the lines because it is guaranteed that the world is not ready to hear "all" of the stories Haggard could tell. These are quite interesting enough, thank you.
Great book. Great story. Too bad it is not a movie! It would put most of the bio movies to shame.
