The legendary Merle Haggard is considered “the poet of the common man.” Since the early 1960s, Haggard’s music has influenced and inspired many. Hits like “The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde,” “Everybody’s Had the Blues” and “That’s The Way Love Goes” are just a few favorites in his impressive body of work. Haggard has not only left a mark on the country world, but on American music in general.
