Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield Sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster guitars, vocal harmonies, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. By the 1970s, Haggard was aligned with the growing outlaw country movement, and has continued to release successful albums

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country and Western song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler, and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era.

Native son of Bakersfield, California, Merle Haggard stands as one of the single most influential singer-songwriters in country music history. His much-chronicled raising and everyman persona appealed to fans and followers around the world. This photo, signed by Haggard, dates from the beginning of his career in the early 1960s.

Haggard was one of country music’s most versatile artists, stylistically mining honky-tonk, blues, jazz, pop, and folk music. He released his first album, “Strangers,” in 1965, followed by roughly seventy albums of wide-ranging repertory: aching ballads (“Silver Wings”), sly, frisky narratives (“It’s Been a Great Afternoon”), semi-autobiographical reflections (“Mama Tried”), political commentaries (“Rainbow Stew”), blue-collar tributes (“Workin’ Man Blues”), and drinking songs that are jukebox, cover-band, and closing-time standards (“I Think I’ll Just Stay Here and Drink”).

Artists influenced by Haggard are legion and include many of country music’s brightest stars, as well as thousands of nightclub musicians. As fiddler Jimmy Belken, a longtime member of the Strangers, Haggard’s exemplary touring band, once told "The New Yorker," “If someone out there workin’ music doesn’t bow deep to Merle, don’t trust him about much anything else.”

He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1994.
