Merle Haggard - The Bluegrass Sessions [CD]

In a career spanning more than 40 years, country music legend Merle Haggard has found a new direction to explore with THE BLUEGRASS SESSIONS. Haggard's first-ever foray into bluegrass - to be released by bluegrass luminary Del McCoury's McCoury Music label - includes some new Haggard penned tunes, several of his favorite hit songs, as well as a few Bluegrass standards. Haggard gathered some of the best pickers in Bluegrass to record with him, and is also joined by Alison Krauss on his classic, "Mama's Hungry Eyes".
