Favorite one off each album is more like it! Even then it's a tough call. "Mixed Up Mess of a Heart" is a great tune that my band used to do. It's off the 'Lonesome Fugitive' album. "All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers", "Farmers Daughter", "Ramblin Fever", "Mama Tried", "Runnin Kind", "Workin Man's Blues", "Train of Life", "The Way I Am", etc, ETC!!! |

It's hard to pick a Merle Haggard favorite because they are all great but I have a couple that come to mind...don't think there is a lot of steel in them but still love these 2... If we make it through December... That's the way love goes... |

If you've got a little girl, then its "The Farmer's Daughter". Its the only song that he goes easy on the Hippies:" His hair is a little longer than we're used to, but I guess I should find something good to say. About this man whose won the farmer's daughter and will soon become my son in law today". |

EB, you're too much! I always say I could never name my single most favorite. I guess if I had to I go with "Big City". "I Threw Away the Rose" is probably 2nd. Oh well, what good is ONE Merle Haggard song anyway? My favorite album is Live At Billy Bob's Texas. ------------------ |

I have a bunch of Haggard favorites, "Someday When Things Are Good" was one of them, his version of "Thats' The Way Love Goes" , and he did a duet with Janie Fricke in the mid-late 80's that was incredible... I just can't remember the name of it. ------------------ |

John Steele...I was listening to that song just last night, sung by a young boy named Marty something or other. He was on one of the Wilburn Brothers shows I have on tape. I thought it was a good song, but had no idea it was a Haggard tune. Let's see...Hag favorites. Hmmmm... Regards, ------------------ |

"Farmers Daughter" comes to mind, but it's kind of like asking " Which of your children do you like best?"!!! Hag just doesn't cut bad songs. Richard ------------------ [This message was edited by Richard Bass on 06 April 2000 at 10:27 PM.] |

"Holding things together", I heard pure prarie league do this in a "rock" environment concert in 1974, boy was I surprised, when a song is as great as this one it makes its way around (pure prarie didn't make the song great, they just recognised it)also "The way I am", but then again with the Hag the list is very long, ever hear Roy Buchanan do "Fugitive"? |

Thanks Gregg G. for mentioning that song. I don't have a clue as to how I could have left out "What have you got planned tonight Diana".  That one would get my vote for my alltime favorite. ------------------ |
