I Love Merle's music,
By
This review is from: Unforgettable (Audio CD)
I knew some day Merle would record a big band album and i have been waiting for it.
He can't hardle do anything bad as far as music is concerned. If you are a "dyed in the wool" Merle Haggard fan as I am you will buy this album. The four songs that make it worth the purchase are, "I Can't get started" "Still missing you" "Going away party" and my most favorite of all, "What love can do" This Man is a GREAT artist!

great music, but BEWARE,
This review is from: Unforgettable (Audio CD)
As usual, merle turns in a great performance, but this disc is copy protected, and plays with clicks on both my phillips 963 players, like a long scratch on an lp.The phillips was produced in the last 2 years. On my older jvc, and older toshiba, i hear a buzzing twang in parts of some songs.It does play allright on my 7 year old sony cd changer.I will have to copy it using analog jacks from my sony to my cd recorder.It seems as if the music industry is trying to drive away the last of us paying customers

The Voice, the Legend!,
By
This review is from: Unforgettable (Audio CD)
Merle has probably been more celebrated for his songwriting than his singing over the years, but this CD shows why so many of us love this mans' singing voice. Wow! 67 years old, and he could never have sung these songs better. Merle may be accused of jumping on the pop standards bandwagon, but he's had these songs in the can for awhile, and has recorded many pop songs (in this style) over the years. The choice of material is outstanding (although "Cry me a river" isn't as suited to his voice, and "Unforgettable" is just too associated with The King (Nat, that is). His readings of "The Gypsy", "Stardust" (man! What a song, what a version), "I can't get started", "I'll get by", and "You're nobody 'til somebody loves you" are beautiful. His original, "What love can do" is as nice as anything on here (who else has the talent to write a new song to go with this level of material?). This version of "Goin' away party" is now the definitive one, and what a great song it is (it was on the last Bob Wills album).The musicianship is great (and, as always for Merle, in good taste). I know this won't sell like the (gasp) Rod Stewart abominations of standards, and what a shame that is. As much acclaim as he has had, I still feel that somehow Merle is still underappreciated and underrated. He is absolutely one of the greatest musical artists this world has seen, and there are no more Merle Haggards' coming down the road. Buy this CD, pour some wine, and listen to it with someone you love. Long live the Hag!
