- Deceptively Titled Compilation, NOT the Original Album

Please Note: This album, like several other compilation album releases by Haggard,is NOT the original studio album by this title. The original LP by this title was released by Capitol records in 1976(and re-released in 2002 by BGO as a single CD with another Haggard album-"My Love Affair With Trains"- as a bonus) and is a fine album. However this compilation album, has the exact same title(leading the unsuspecting buyer into believing that this is a re-release of the '76 LP). I'd suggest that any other Haggard fans avoid such deceptively titled releases and buy only the albums as originally made, or stick to the many, many fine compilations available that don't rely on marketing tactics to sell what should sell itself on merit.
