These were the years when Merle Haggard polarized the USA with songs likeOkie From Muskogee and The Fightin’ Side Of Me, yet, as this set reveals, his approach to politics was more nuanced than many thought at the time. In an unreleased song (one of many) titled Somewhere In Between he says “I stand looking at the left wing, and I turn towards the right, and my eyes find both good and bad there on either scene ….” He adds, I’m not too old to understand the young who disagree.” The unissued recordings also include his original version of That’s The Way Love Goes, which became a big hit for him on Epic Records several years later.
