Our Take

Ah, Merle Haggard, the legend himself. Out Among The Stars is a delightful romp through the honky-tonk world of this country music hero. The album takes us on a journey through heartbreak, whiskey, and cowboy boots, all wrapped in that classic Haggard twang.

From the first track, you know you're in for a wild ride. "Almost Persuaded" kicks things off with a bang, setting the tone for what's to come. Haggard's rich, smooth vocals are as captivating as ever, drawing you in with every word.

Tracks like "If I Could Only Fly" and "I Came So Close To Losing My Home" showcase Haggard's storytelling prowess, painting vivid pictures with his lyrics. You can practically smell the dust on the road and feel the ache in his heart.

But it's not all doom and gloom on Out Among The Stars. Haggard injects plenty of humour and playfulness into the mix, keeping things light and entertaining. The infectious energy of songs like "I'm A Lonesome Fugitive" and "I Dreamed of An Old Love Affair" will have you tapping your toes and singing along in no time.

Overall, Out Among The Stars is a must-listen for any country music fan. Haggard proves once again why he's a true icon of the genre, delivering an album that's equal parts soulful, charming, and downright fun. So pour yourself a drink, put on your cowboy hat, and dive into the world of Merle Haggard. You won't be disappointed.
