Description:
Now Bear Family gathers together all of his `concept` LPs for Capitol 1968 -- 1976, plus the `live` LPs... plus the LPs by Haggard`s band, the Strangers. The third and final box set in Bear Familys documentation of Merle Haggard`s Capitol recordings includes all of these concepts. The box includes the Jimmie Rodgers tribute double album from 1968 and the Bob Wills tribute album from 1970 for which Haggard reunited many ofWillss original Texas Playboys. There are three exciting live albums, including one of the best selling country albums of all time, `Okie From Muskogee--Live In Muskogee, Oklahoma.` There is the ambitious `Land Of Many Churches` gospel project, for which Haggard recorded revival-style gospel music in backwoods Baptist churches, San Quentin, a Nashville rescue mission and a California Pentecostal church.
