3.0 out of 5 stars "Ultimate" is a misnomer, November 3, 2002

this is definitely not the best single-disc survey of Merle Haggard's career by a long shot, since it barely touches his greatest 60s/early 70s Capitol recordings nor his popular 80s Epic singles, but instead dwells on his late 70s MCA songs...to date, by far the greatest single Merle Haggard purchase is the "Down the Road" box set, and it is the only one that adequately covers his entire multi-label career

This CD brings back memories of the earlier Merle Haggard years. Merle's voice is still the same powerful mezmorizing delight. Every Hag CD is a creative work of art - his voice unique and spell binding. His story telling abilities grab at your heart and are always something you can relate to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Collection, May 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)

Of the many Merle Haggard albums, this one is the BEST. Among 20 great hits, it includes the song "Leonard" that is hard to find on any MH album. You will definitely want to listen to this collection over and over!
