Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

Really Good Collection.......2004-07-11

I bought this in part because it had soundtracks to tv shows that are unavailable. My husband and I watch aome British programming. Many of the theme songs are for what seems like obscure British shows. That said; it has been enjoyable to hear music that I would normally never hear. Some music does sound tinny; some are very very rich, and some music is derived from actual preformances from the original artists. I think this is worth buying because is has a wonderful blend of music. The pieces are full soundtracks so they includes the parts of the theme song which are often edited out. I think the orchestra's who preformed the music did a great job. I have MonsterMania which redoes the soundtracks to the Godzilla movies. The interpretation is less heavy and stark than the preformance we associate with the original soundtrack; but I regard it as a new way to appreciate the music and all the componets which make the song unique.

Third and fourth LPs continue Haggard's streak.......2006-05-02

Capitol's deluxe series of Haggard 2-fer reissues takes its second step with Haggard's third ("I'm a Lonesome Fugitive") and fourth ("Branded Man") solo albums, both from 1967. This pair of releases continues to mix the electric twang of Bakersfield with the emotional directness of Johnny Cash, but with songwriting that's both increasingly personal and sophisticated. The doggedness Haggard displays in the face of romantic and personal dissolution adds metaphorical echoes to its autobiographical detail, resulting in songs that connect on first spin and reveal their layers over time.

"I'm a Lonesome Fugitive" was recorded with Haggard's band in transition. Guitarist Roy Nichols had left, and was replaced for these sessions by studio hotshots James Burton and Glen Campbell. Surprisingly, the loss of Nichols' signature licks isn't all that noticeable. Liz Anderson's title track (and Haggard's first #1 single) is the perfect opener, parlaying a fugitive's rootlessness into a metaphor for Haggard's continual run from romantic turmoil. Haggard's a drowning man, and whether it's the nostalgia of "My House of Memories," the loneliness of "Life in Prison," or the bottle of "Drink Up and Be Somebody," he's always struggling to keep from going under.

Haggard's debt to Bakersfield is heard in the Don Rich-styled harmony (provided by Glen Campbell) on "Mixed Up Mess of a Heart," and his favor for Jimmie Rodgers made its first appearance here with "My Rough and Rowdy Ways." Bonus tracks include a tougher pre-Capitol version of "Life in Prison" (recorded for Tally, but unreleased at the time), and a more straight-forward take of "Someone Told My Story" culled from discarded 1966 album sessions.

"Branded Man" continued Haggard's roll. With Roy Nichols returned to the fold, the title track complements "I'm a Lonesome Fugitive" by showing that the parolee wears a scarlet mark as damning as the stripes of the escapee. Haggard offers several new originals, including the signature "I Threw Away the Rose," but he also takes on co-writers (Bakersfield legend Red Simpson for "You Don't Have Far to Go," and Bonnie Owens for "Gone Crazy"), and picks up songs from others, including a trio of tunes from Tommy Collins.

Collins' "Don't Get Married" is more hopeful in its longing than Haggard's typical songs of incarceration, and "I Made the Prison Band" actually feels pragmatic and light. Mexicali-styled guitars add a dramatic flair to several tunes, including the prisoner's romantic lament, "My Hands Are Tied." The album's most recognizable cover, the funereal classic "Long Black Limousine," is fine, but surprisingly underwhelming in contrast to Haggard's originals. Extras include early takes of "I Threw Away the Rose" and "Loneliness is Eating Me Alive," each of which lack the delicacy of the final album takes.

"Lonesome Fugitive" is the slightly more satisfying spin, but the beauty of Capitol's reissue series is that you don't have to choose. These two-fers include both original album covers (one on each side of the booklet), color photo reproductions, and newly struck liner notes. Though Haggard fans are likely to have a lot of this material on previous single-CD reissues or box sets, the logical album pairings and remastered 24-bit sound make these sets especially attractive. The only real nits one could pick is the absence of session credits, master numbering and chart positioning, as well as a lack of detail on some of the bonus tracks. These are minor issues for such a stellar series of five-star reissues. [?2006 redtunictroll at hotmail dot com]

Amazon.com essential recording

Of the 40 songs included in this two-CD overview, 39 made the country charts and a remarkable 22 peaked at No. 1. The collection opens with four early Tally hits, but Haggard truly hits his stride when he begins penning his own songs for Capitol in 1965. Songs of family and faith accompany honky-tonk drinking anthems, incendiary (if not sarcastic) anti-hippie rants, and poignant stories of rebellion, prison life, and loneliness. Backed by the talented Strangers, Haggard created an emotionally honest and directly delivered style of country that, along with Buck Owens's work, came to define the Bakersfield sound. The drawback of focusing on Hag's original hits, however, is the omission of his inspired tributes to legends such as Jimmie Rodgers. --Marc Greilsamer

Customer Reviews:

The Best Country Singer Ever! (and a GREAT CD).......2004-11-18

This is a terrific CD! It's so good that it will make you want to buy more of Merle Haggard. He is, in my opinion, the best country music singer ever. Goodbye Hank Williams, goodbye Johnny Cash, goodbye Waylon Jennings, and goodbye Tracy Byrd. Merle Haggard is the best!

Authentic, enjoyable, and classic Country-Western music.......2004-02-03

As country music has grown in popularity, my dislike of it has grown. As the public has embraced such performers as Garth Brooks and all those who followed in his wake, the more the genre has loosened its grip on my imagination. For me, real country music means George Jones, Left Frizzell, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams (not Jr.), Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Snow, the Louvin Brothers, the young Dolly Parton, and a host of other classic country performers.

Today's country music strikes me as rootless, as emanating from nowhere in particular. Most of my relatives come from Arkansas hill country, as rural as they come. If they had decided to leave for California in the 1930s, they could easily have passed for the Arkies in THE GRAPES OF WRATH. But there was a genuine, visceral connection between the music they listened to and their lives. Not so today. What real connection do Brooks and Dunn have with country folk? I admire the Dixie Chicks for their political stand, and I don't dislike their music, but they seem more urban than country.

Merle Haggard is the real deal. You listen to him and you are convinced that he knows about picking cotton and driving a tractor. He sounds like one familiar with outhouses and tin roofs and gravel roads an army of flies on a front porch in the middle of July. The experiences are real, and the emotions are real. Perhaps he has never been himself a hunted fugitive, but his background and life helps him sell it.

This isn't polished country, not by today's all-too-slick standards. But it is tremendously real. I won't defend every song on the album. Some of the songs border on corn; "Okie from Muskogee" represents the worst form of patriotism (though he has largely redeemed himself in this regard with his recent song about the injustices done by the current government in sending the troops to Iraq for unjustified reasons). But the songs are consistently good, and several are great, and Merle's singing always strong and deeply emotional.

Not all of the current generation of country singers have forsaken the country tradition. Iris Dement would have been marvelous in whatever decade she was in (a fellow Arkie, I might add). But I think by and large most young performers would produce better country music if they took Merle Haggard as their inspiration rather than the pabulum performers infesting the airwaves today.

probably the 2nd best Merle Haggard collection.......2002-11-04

this collection covers Haggard's Capitol recordings very well, but the "Down Every Road" box is more comprehensive and a better value

Good Overview.......2001-09-29

Merle Haggard is experiencing a major revival in the music world. It began with the release of two tribute albums recorded by many of the new generation of country artists. Now a slew of reissues have been released - one of the most comprehensive of which is this two-disc ANTHOLOGY. Its forty tracks covers his formative years on the small Tally label from 1963-1964 and his subsequent move in 1965 to the Capitol label where Haggard became one of the greatest artists in country music history. Nearly every single from this period was included, along with a few well-chosen B-sides, such as his oft-covered "Today I Started Loving You Again."

At Tally, Haggard was merely an interpreter (especially the work of Liz Anderson). Upon joining Capitol, Haggard the writer immediately began to emerge. His early writing was firmly rooted in the standard country themes of cheating ("Swinging Doors") and drinking ("The Bottle Let Me Down"). From here he moved on to more autobiographical fare. "A Branded Man" and "Sing Me Back Home" brought attention to Haggard's stay in San Quentin while "Mama Tried" and "Hungry Eyes" captured his turbulent youth. With "Okie From Muskogee" and "Fightin' Side Of Me," Haggard spouted some right-wing anthems (the former which may or may not have been written in jest).

As the second disc reveals, Haggard really came into his own in the '70s as a highly observant writer. He covered religion ("Jesus, Take A Hold"), lost love ("Someday We'll Look Back," "It's All In The Movies") and surrogate love ("It's Not Love (But It's Not Bad")), and even working class struggles ("Working Man Blues," "A Working Man Can't Get Nowhere Today"). He also created some colorful country characters with "Daddy Frank (the Guitar Man)," "Grandma Harp," and "The Old Man From The Mountain." Including the inane "Cherokee Maiden" (not a Haggard original) lowers the quality of this collection quite a bit, but overall ANTHOLOGY is a very satisfying overview of Haggard's early and peak musical years.

The best Merle Haggard collection from his best period.......2001-09-22

Merle Haggard is one of the true giants of country music; if they built a Mount Rushmore of male country legends, he'd certainly be one of the heads, along with Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and George Jones. Of all the anthologies out there, the best and most concise choice has to be this collection, "The Lonesome Fugitive."

First of all, it collects all the major singles from his years with Capitol Records. I should warn you that his tenure at Capitol is considered to be one of the greatest, most consistent bodies of work in country music, and real die-hard fans of Merle often end up buying most if not all his albums from this period. But, if you want a "best of" that skims the cream of the crop, this is the place to go.
The title track, "Okie From Muskogee," "Working Man Blues"...almost all these tracks are country music classics of the traditional sort. No countrypolitan, no orchestral arrangements...this is rootsy music with a hard kick to it (some critics like Dave Marsh and the compiler, Jimmy Guterman, even qualify this stuff as rock music). Lyrically, Haggard proves himself to be on the best in country. He sings about the working class, politics ( "Okie From Muskogee" can either be seen as satire or a right-wing anthem, depending on your view), and even criminals. In all of his songs, he uses eloquent words and sings a hard truth without embellishing too much or getting too sentimental. On top of all that, this collection has great sound, thanks to that amazing audiophile, mastering engineer, Steve Hoffman.

I like this despite it's flaws.......2002-06-22

I really like this one. It is obviously from the early 70's around the time of the HAG album. It gives the listener a glimpse of the average Merle Haggard concert of that era. I think the version of Soldiers Last Letter shows off those amazing pipes whereby he changes the melody a bit on the opening line: it's a good example of his genius. Listen to the studio version and you'll see what I mean. I think this is a good representation of the period...though one whole complete concert with no pauses would have been much better. I would rather have this cd than not have it at all. I wish there were more...

THERE ARE DEFINITLY BETTER LIVE COLLECTIONS.......2002-01-10

Merle Haggard has been recording for about 40 years. He has been all over the country doing concerts. Where someone got the idea to put this thing togather and call it LONESOME FUGITIVE-LIVE, I have no idea.
There are far better live recordings on these same songs(ex. OKIE FROM MUSKOGEE-LIVE IN MUSKOGEE). Some of them sound like they were recorded off of a warped vinyl album.
Too, there absolutely no notes about any of these songs. There are no dates when they were played. The title suggests they were all done at one concert at some unknown location, but the tracks have no talking or introducing or presenting of any kind(SOLDIER'S LETTER does have Merle saying "Goodnight," but the song is in the middle of the album). Why bid goodnight half-way unless folks were getting bored and leaving?
I believe you are wise to spend your shekels on something else of Merle's besides this.
