Album Haiku: I Am What I Am by Merle Haggard
Merle Masterpiece
Perfect Lyrics and Music
A Country Classic
4 1/2 out of 5
I was blown away at how great “I Am What I Am” was. It is traditional country done as only Merle can do. I hope its as big as the Johnny Cash American Recordings. A few days ago I was talking to a Country Radio Program Director about how great the album was. He had not heard it yet but mentioned how country radio loves to associate with the legends but never play their new music. I found that to be interesting. It’s a great album buy it now, you will not be dissapointed. My favorite songs on the album are “I’ve Seen It Go Away,” and “The Road to My Heart.” Merle truly is who is and nobody else can be like him.
