http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6043&rws=%2Fmerle-haggard%2Ftop-tracks.rssMerle Haggard is one of the most influential country music Singer-Songwriters since Hank Williams. His career began when he snuck backstage to meet country legend Lefty Frizzell as a teen. Impressed by his songs, Frizzell refused to go back on stage until Haggard went up and sang a song -- to a warm audience response. Along with Buck Owens and Wynn Stewart, he was a pioneer of the Bakersfield country music scene in the 1960s, a working-class legend who sang torn and frayed narratives. Haggard's deep and throaty vocal style was influenced by Stewart's phrasing, his music touched by a subtle mix of blues, jazz, folk and Western Swing. Haggard's quality of songwriting has remained consistently ahead of the rest; country music wouldn't be the same without him. - Eric SheaBakersfield Sounden720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:56:00 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6043&rws=%2Fmerle-haggard%2Ftop-tracks.rss Merle Haggard is one of the most influential country music Singer-Songwriters since Hank Williams.
