Hi everyone! This is a fan page for Merle Haggard & The Strangers, but here's just a little information about me, too. (Note: All the other stats on the page apply to Merle Haggard.) Name: Eden Birthday: June 1, 1972 Live in: Malibu, CA Merle Haggard Biography (From AllMusic.com, by Stephen Thomas Erlewine) As a performer and a songwriter, Merle Haggard was the most important country artist to emerge in the 1960s. Haggard became one of the leading figures of the Bakersfield country scene in the '60s. While his music remained hardcore country, he pushed the boundaries of the music quite far. Like his idol Bob Wills, his music was a melting pot that drew from all forms of traditional American music -- country, jazz, blues, and folk -- and in the process, developed a distinctive style of his own. As a performer, singer, and musician, he was one of the best, influencing countless other artists. Not coincidentally, he was the best singer/songwriter in country music since Hank Williams, writing a body of songs that became classics. Throughout his career, Haggard has been a champion of the working man, largely due to his rough and tumble history.
