I didn't pay much attention to country music over the years, but I vividly recall the impact of Merle's crossover hit "Okie from Muskogee" during my junior year of college in late 1969. I admired Merle Haggard's sincere, earthy, organic vocals and enjoy his recordings much more than the smooth, slick, pop style country of recent decades.<br /><br />Thanks, Mike!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
