Merles Just Want To Have Fun [CD]

Merles Just Wanna Have Fun is a ridiculous spirited, lovingly raucous tribute to one of countrys greats, Merle Haggard. As with Willie Nelson, theres a bit of jazzy sensibility to Haggards music. The tunes arent mere three-chord rockers, giving a sextet of exceptional musicians like Bryan and the Haggards featuring Dr. Eugene Chadbourne plenty to work with. And as with Nelson (Poncho to his Lefty, or the other way around), Haggards songs are full of character, or rebels and patriots and world-weary travelers.
