This CD is not only one of the top Country discs of all time, it is one of the finest albums of any sort of music I have ever heard! This album has so many truly fine Hag songs it easily could be labeled a greatest hits disc.

You've got the title track, one of the best songs I have ever heard. I mean, put this on after a week of fighting traffic and busting your rear end at work, kick back with a brew, and it will absolutely free your soul! You may even break out a map of Montana and start on down the road. Another brilliant song, although not written by Merle, is "Stop the World and Let Me Off". Though this tune deals with a failed relationship, it is so easy to think of it in a general context, and I don't know how many times in this way-to-busy world that I have just wanted to get off the ride and just do anything but work my tail off all day, every day!

Also outstanding are "I think I'm Gonna Live Forever" and all the others. This is a super, super strong disc worth twice the price.

The fact that you almost never hear Hag on the radio these days is complete bull, and makes me sick! Instead, it's whoever's wearing the tightest jeans and the biggest hat that gets all the airplay. This is just the same as it would be to not put George Washington in U.S. History books folks. But heck don't just play Haggard on the radio for old times sake, play him because his music just kicks the you know what out of 99 percent of the junk coming over todays airwaves.

This CD has much of the best of the best of Merle. I can not recommend it enough. It's unbelievable that there are only a couple of reviews for this CD!

Hag's voice deepened to where his version of "You Don't have very far to go" sounds wholly different than his earlier versions. He uses his voice like Sinatra did to convery nuances other singers don't get to. The sound on this is terrific too. Get this and Serving 190 Proof, the woefully underrated work that is selling at a bargain basement price. Also, get Hag's "If I could only fly" to hear what he can do today. A great songwriter, musician, and singer.

This album was the one that got me really loving country music. The title track is one of his best songs ever. It's an album you can listen to over and over.

It is hard to imagine a better Haggard disk. Every track superb.

I bought this to replace one I had some 40 years ago when the album first came out. The quality and the price was really attractive and it sounds good to. I just finished refurbishing some 40 year old amps and boy this thing will put goose bumps on you.

I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates good country music at it's finest.
