Shout!
Factory and the Country Music Hall Of Fame®
and Museum Archive Series are proud to
present Merle Haggard: Legendary
Performances on DVD
From the vaults of the Country Music Hall Of
Fame and Museum, this collection features
nearly two decades of Merle Haggard
performances in his prime not seen since
their original broadcast.
Now, for the first time on DVD, experience
the hits through a chronology of vintage
live performances such as “Branded Man” (Country
Music Holiday,1968), “Mama Tried”
(Billy Walker’s Country Carnival,
1968) and “Okie From Muskogee” (The
Porter Wagoner Show, 1970).
When Merle Haggard left prison in 1960, he
went on to achieve 38 #1 hits (to date) and
establish himself as one of the greats in
country music. But getting out of prison
didn’t quite mean leaving his rebel ways
behind.
His songwriting depicted the truths of a
rough-and-tumble life which he fused with a
musical style derived from hardcore country,
jazz, blues and folk to create a sound no
one had ever heard, with lyrics many could
relate to.
From the walls of San Quentin to his
free-spirited life as an irreverent and
unique voice outside the Nashville
establishment to his induction in the
Country Music Hall of Fame, Merle Haggard
has never left a doubt that he is country’s
original outlaw.
