Merle and Willie: The Boys are Back in Town

CMT and Chet Flippo had a great mention about new music from Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson.

I’m listening to Merle Haggard‘s I Am What I Am right now on the I Am What I Am MySpace page. It’s classic Merle and I love that. His voice sounds strong and the record is well produced.

Willie and Merle have been churning out records for four decades and have had more hits than misses when it comes to top-notch country music.

They are both still active with recording and touring, but as they get up in age their fans – young and old – will have to get and see them live and appreciate every piece of new music they release over the next few years.

They both seem to still have relevant things to share with the world even if the themes seem similar to other works they’ve released.

Willie Nelson is covering some classic country songs from all over the map and Willie put his unique stamp on the solid collection of melody and lyric.
