We all pledge allegiance to the Hag.
Merle Haggard has had a few books written about his wild life and we’ll get another later this month titled The Hag: Life, Times, and Music of Merle Haggard
Written by New York Times best selling author Marc Eliot, who’s written biographies about John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and many more. Here’s a paragraph from the book’s description:
Merle Haggard’s story is a great American saga of a man who lifted himself out of poverty, oppression, loss and wanderlust, to catapult himself into the pantheon of American artists admired around the world. Eliot has interviewed more than 100 people who knew Haggard, worked with him, were influenced by him, loved him or hated him. The book celebrates the accomplishments and explore the singer’s infamous dark side: the self-created turmoil that expressed itself through drugs, women, booze, and betrayal. The Hag offers a richly anecdotal narrative that will elevate the life and work of Merle Haggard to where both properly belong, in the pantheon of American music and letters.
The Hag will be available everywhere you purchase books on January 18th.
