A biography of the legendary country musician Merle Haggard, a man who lifted himself out of poverty, loss and a criminal past to catapult himself into the pantheon of American artists admired around the world.
What The Reviewers Say
Marc Eliot...knows country music. With The Hag, I sense that he tried to write in a voice approximating Merle’s own. The resulting text reads like something written 50 or 60 years ago. It’s hokey in places, just like Merle, and pitched to male readers, especially in matters of sex.
Eliot follows the rough-and-tumble experiences of this maverick with the 'movie-star looks' to his heyday as the bad boy of country music.
A revealing biogaphy.
