A review of Palace Family Steak House and The Gambling Poet present: The Very Best of Merle Haggard. Reviewed by Merle Haggard.
For a collection of pinko losers, these PFSH.Com bozos didn't do such a bad job with this collection of Merle Haggard songs.
Haggard can do it all, from angry tales of the streets that point the way to NWA and all the rest ("I guess I grew up a loner/I don't remember having any folks around") to homoerotic imagery couched in inimitable poetry. And it's all right here, señorita.
It is fitting that this career-spanning retrospective was produced by PalaceFamilySteakHouse.Com and The Gambling Poet. Steak and poetry are two of Merle Haggard's favorite things.
If you did not jump on The Gambling Poet's generous offer of this compilation, then you are a fool who richly deserves every awful thing you have coming to you. I would have cut off my own legs for a set of recordings like this one back when I was in the clink. (Speaking of which: Bless you, Governor Reagan, for the pardon.)
The only fault of this collection is that it does not have "The Bottle Let Me Down." I guess I will have to satisfy myself with Elvis Costello's version. But really, they could have included that song and left off that "Okie From Muskogee" song. If I never hear that friggin' song again, it'll be too soon.
Your humble servant,
Merle
