Merle Haggard

After his initial success, Merle Haggard devoted a lot of time and creative energy to 'concepts' that interested him, including live albums, tribute albums, gospel albums, and The Strangers' instrumental albums.

Hag - The Capitol Recordings 1968-1976 - Concepts, Live & The Strangers is third box set in Bear Family’s documentation of Merle Haggard's Capitol recordings, and includes all of these 'concepts.'

The set includes the Jimmie Rodgers tribute double album from 1968 and the Bob Wills tribute album from 1970 for which Haggard reunited many of Wills‘s original Texas Playboys.

There are three exciting live albums, including one of the best selling country albums of all time, Okie From Muskogee - Live In Muskogee, Oklahoma. There is the ambitious Land Of Many Churches gospel project, and the set also includes the complete Strangers instrumental output plus many unreleased bonus tracks.
