 | | Merle Haggard I Am What I AmPrice: $24.95 Merle Haggard was and is the defining voice of the famous Bakersfield sound, and next to the late Johnny Cash, he is one of the USA's most treasured musician/singers to grace a stage. Haggard returns with his new album I Am What I Am. The effort was co-produced by Merle with longtime cohort Lou Bradley, and the disc features 12 songs including the candid title track, with typically stellar playing from Merle's band the Strangers. Mr. Haggard turns inward on his new disc, and some of the songs are occasionally tinged with regret, but his new album is no place for apologies – indeed, the tone of these tracks is celebratory as often as not, the reflection of a man profoundly comfortable in his weathered skin.
