Merle Haggard - Back To The Barrooms

Review by qassim alrikabi

Back to the Barrooms by Merle Haggard is a classic country album that showcases Haggard's signature sound and storytelling abilities. Released in 1980, the album features ten tracks, each with its own unique story and message.

The album kicks off with "Misery and Gin," a song about drowning one's sorrows in alcohol. Haggard's vocals are raw and emotive, perfectly capturing the pain and despair of the song's protagonist. "Back to the Barrooms Again" is another standout track, a rollicking tune that celebrates the joys of drinking and partying with friends.

Haggard's songwriting shines on tracks like "I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink," a melancholy ballad about heartbreak and loneliness, and "Leonard," a tribute to Haggard's friend and fellow musician Leonard Slye (better known as Roy Rogers).
