Details
[Edit]Following in the marketing footsteps of Columbia/Legacy's 2000 thematic Johnny Cash releases (Murder, Love, God), Capitol Records gave Merle Haggard's back catalog a similar treatment in 2001 with four separate installments: Hurtin', Drinkin', Prison, and Cheatin'. While it's impossible to narrow Haggard's Prison songs down to ten, the compilers did an admiral job mixing a few of the obvious hits ("Mama Tried," "Sing Me Back Home," "I'm a Lonesome Fugitive," and "Branded Man") with similarly themed songs that fell through the cracks — great tunes but not necessarily hits. The cover art could be a bit snazzier, but still, this is a decent mid-line set. In fact, all four discs are recommended, and as it states on the back cover, "Collect all four and enjoy the pain."
