Biography Merle Haggard
Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music
singer, guitarist and songwriter.
Emerging from prison in the 1960s, having broken out 17 different times,
Haggard was one of the early innovators of the Bakersfield Sound. With his
hard biting electric guitar, he almost singlehandedly introduced the
electric sound to country music. By the 1970s, he was aligned with the
growing outlaw country movement, and has continued to release successful
albums through the 1990s and into the 2000s. His work in familiar country
themes — jail, betrayal, drinking and wandering — include a
directness that reflects his own life experience. His deep, grumbling voice
and his guitar work gives his country a blues-like quality in many cuts.
Early life Haggard was born in Bakersfield, CA. His parents, Flossie Mae
