Merle Haggard Album Recommendations

ain't nobody feelin' no pain

A must have IMHO is Merle and Willie Nelson "Pancho and Lefty".

. . . man am I glad you posted this question. I picked up "Pancho and Lefty" a few months ago and every time I listen to it I keep thinking Merle has a fantastic voice, I gotta get more by him. I'll be picking up some of the suggestions here for my own collection.

Kern River is by far my favorite.

CD is hard to find, great recording.

Second, Kern River. Also, if you like Merle Haggard, give Joe Nichols a try. I think he has the best male voice in country music in recent history, although his choice of material has not always been the best. However, his "Revelation" album is quite good and he is certainly influenced by Merle. Also, if you want to go back to Merle's influences, you can try Lefty Frizell and Vern Gosdin.

Thanks for your suggestions. Here's a link to what purports to be the entire discography.
