Hag's Christmas (CD)

Merle faced a lot of difficult times growing up in Oklahoma, and that's reflected in these sometimes touching and definitely poignant songs including Daddy Won't Be Home Again for Christmas; If We Make It Through December; Santa Claus And Popcorn; Jingle Bells, and more.

CEMA Special Markets' A Country Christmas with Merle Haggard collects ten Christmas carols, holiday tunes, and "If We Make It Through December," all recorded during his glory years at Capitol. It's not an official Christmas album -- Merle didn't head into the studio with the intent of cutting this specific record -- but since all the music was recorded within a few years, it holds together very well. It may be a budget-priced compilation, but it's one of the better country Christmas albums you'll hear. A Country Christmas with Merle Haggard was reissued in 2007 as Hag's Christmas with the same track listing but a different cover. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
