Our Take

Yeehaw, saddle up cowboys and cowgirls, because Merle Haggard is back with a blast from the past in his latest release "Kern River / Amber Waves Of Grain". This album is a true country music delight, with Haggard's signature twang and storytelling taking centre stage.

"Kern River" is a haunting ballad that transports listeners to the banks of the titular river, as Haggard croons about lost love and regret. His emotive vocals are perfectly complemented by the stripped-back production, allowing the raw emotion of the lyrics to shine through.

On the flip side, "Amber Waves Of Grain" is a toe-tapping anthem that celebrates the beauty of the American heartland. Haggard's upbeat delivery and catchy chorus will have you tapping your boots in no time, making this track a must-listen for any country music fan.

Overall, "Kern River / Amber Waves Of Grain" is a solid offering from the legendary Merle Haggard. While it may not revolutionise the country music genre, it's a testament to Haggard's enduring talent and influence. So grab your Stetson and get ready to two-step along to this fantastic album. It's a hoedown you won't want to miss.
