    Amazon.com's Best of 2000

    On his first new studio album in four years, Merle Haggard writes bluntly about his own life experience and his own thoughts--only now, at age 63, his thoughts have turned toward fatherhood, marriage, and the stability of home life. When Hag bares his soul as he does here, it still makes for gripping music, no matter what the themes may be. --Marc Greilsamer

    Amazon.com essential recording

    Merle Haggard is still singing about Merle Haggard, and the results are as compelling as ever. He still writes plainspoken, brutally honest lyrics and he still sings with passion. Above all, he can still skillfully combine them in ways that make the whole far better than the sum of its parts. There is still profundity in his economy of words and there is still an element of mythology in his honesty. If I Could Only Fly changes the man's perspective to be sure: no longer is he recalling his mama and daddy, his modest upbringing, his wild youth, and his outsider's fate. Instead, he grapples with aging, comes to grips with familial responsibilities, and learns to appreciate the wonders of home life versus the pitfalls of the highway. He boasts maturity that he was sure he'd never have, maturity that he paid dearly to attain. And while his diminished vocal range may be the cost of age, his singing now carries with it a conviction that is age's reward--in fact, this sort of tradeoff serves as a perfect analogy. The fact that Haggard has released this record on a punk label really comes as no surprise; if nothing else, it gave him and the Strangers an opportunity to craft a wise, tasteful, minimalist record in the friendly confines of Hag's home studio. But it's awfully sad that the country world has no use for Merle Haggard's hard-earned wisdom. --Marc Greilsamer

    5 out of 5 stars this album is really really good.......2007-05-13

    Merle, you have so much talent, I wish you the best luck and good times. Thank you for your music. It means so much to us, your fans. I wish the big labels would give you freedom to record new songs and the radio would play them. But anyways I'm happy that you seem to have found peace in your life, which I hear on this album.
    I have listened to this album a lot during the last few years and I never get tired of it. Keep recording when the fish aren't biting. I'll be there to buy the album if you put another one out. I sure hope you do!

    5 out of 5 stars Try it - you might just like it.......2006-12-24

    True, this is a different Merle we're hearing than the one most country fans are used to. And if you're a first time buyer of Merle's music, this one might not convince you that he is truly the legend he is. But real HAG FANS, and music fans willing to take a bit of a risk, will appreciate this side of Merle. His voice was not what it could have been at the time he recorded this, and we've later found that this was due to his dental problems that have now been repaired. But it's still Merle....the man with the golden pen who has an uncanny ability to capture emotions on a sheet of paper. I think anyone who REALLY listens to this album with an open mind and keen ear will agree that it's a beautiful collection.

    5 out of 5 stars Upon further review...........2006-05-17

    I have read of the recent passing of Bonnie Owens, Merle's ex-wife, long time backup singer and touring partner. News accounts talk of her slide into the unfortunate abyss of Alzheimer's disease in the late 90's. Merle's wonderful voice came around on my computer singing "If I Could Only Fly" as I finished reading of Bonnie's passing. Wow... I know Merle didn't write this song. I also know that songs can mean many things to many people. But gosh, I just have to wonder if this isn't a perfect ode to Bonnie who couldn't join Merle on the road. Was Merle looking out a bus window on the road someplace thinking of Bonnie back home suffering from a debilitating disease with almost no chance of rejoining him? I can't say for you. Sure rings true to me. Try listening to the song in this context and see what you think. I'd bet well all know a "Bonnie". Sad? You bet it is. True as life itself? That too. This one song on the album is worth the price of the whole CD to me. I guess that makes all the rest of this great CD "Bonus Tracks". Doesn't get much better. Strong work, Merle.

    5 out of 5 stars A winner.......2003-05-23

    I had never bought a MH album before, and never buy mainstream country. Heard something good about this one and gave it a go (first CD I've bought in months). Liked it so much I got Roots, which is another winner. It is rare to find people who can write songs these days, much less perform them with conviction, humor and taste. There's nothing fake here, including in the playing, which is both laid back and flawless. Thanks Merle, looking forward to the next one.

    5 out of 5 stars A Marathoner Finishing Strong.......2001-12-30

    "Looking back it all looks like a marathon...", Merle sings. And somewhere in his seventh decade, Hag is still running it with the best of them. Subtract Turn to Me, a song and sound you've heard from a thousand other singers before, and this is a practically perfect CD of Haggard reflecting on his past, but mostly savoring a present of love and family. The "marathon" line is from Thanks to Uncle John, a tribute to the man who taught him his early chords. Three consecutive songs celebrate fatherhood, Lullaby, I'm Still Your Daddy (when a child learns of San Quentin and a not so perfect past) and Proud to Be Your Old Man. Two others lament the road which drags him away from home (and what a change that is from the younger Hag!), Leavin's Getting Harder, and the title cut, one of the CD's three best songs, though not written by Haggard. The other two bests are Wishing All These Old Things Were New, in which the past is always present as an undeniably attractive temptation, and Listening to the Wind, a lonely separation song, maybe of years, maybe of miles, maybe of both, but surely best heard in the fog of a Bakersfield winter night or on a long drive across Texas. The voice and the picking are impeccable as always on the best Haggard work. Like Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and George Jones to name three, Haggard is aging superbly with his talent still growing.
