Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Merle Haggard, the original outlaw of country music. The man who made being a rebel look effortlessly cool while belting out heartfelt tunes that resonate with even the most hardened of hearts.
With "Big City / Going Where The Lonely Goin," Haggard takes us on a journey through the highs and lows of life with that signature twang and honesty that only he can deliver. The title track, "Big City," paints a picture of the bright lights and big dreams of urban life, while "Going Where The Lonely Goin" reminds us that sometimes being alone is just as fulfilling as being surrounded by others.
Haggard's smooth vocals and down-to-earth lyrics are perfectly complemented by the tight instrumentation and well-crafted production on this album. Each song is a gem in its own right, with standouts like "Are the Good Times Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver)" and "My Favorite Memory" showcasing Haggard's ability to tell a story like no other.
Whether you're a die-hard country music fan or just dipping your toes into the genre, "Big City / Going Where The Lonely Goin" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good music with a healthy dose of wit and charm. Merle Haggard may be a legend, but with this album, he proves that he's still got plenty of tricks up his sleeve.
