Having won just about every music award imaginable, Merle Haggard's status as a legendary storyteller has permeated just about every genre of music to its core. With his unique ability to lyrically connect his listeners with emotions and circumstances that could either be all too familiar or entirely foreign, Merle Haggard bridges a gap that many songwriters struggle with for their entire career. Johnny Cash, on his variety show, once introduced Haggard, saying "Here's a man who writes about his own life and has had a life to write about."
