Acoustic Breakdown Gone Country

by Hannah Dudley


Country Music: A way of life to many but completely underrated in the UK. I'm going to help change that here as I review and introduce country classics old and new, filtering the trite from the truly brilliant and dispelling your notions that country is corny. A lot of it is, but even then it can be great.

The Legendary Merle Haggard - Mama Tried (Live 1968)

Merle Haggard is one of the great 'outlaw' country artists. Notoriously amongst the inmates during Johnny Cash's San Quentin prison performance in 1958, 'Mama Tried' is a track that epitomizes the genre and Haggard's career. This live performance, from a TV show recorded ten years later, is as chillingly resonant today as it was then.
