| rdfs:comment | - Merle Haggard es un cantante, guitarrista, fiddler y compositor estadounidense de música country. Junto con Buck Owens, Haggard y su banda "The Strangers" ayudaron a crear el Sonido Bakersfield, caracterizado por el sonido único de las guitarras Fender Telecaster, las armonías vocacles y un filo duro que no se escuchaba en las grabaciones del sonido Nashville de la misma época.
- 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. By the 1970s, Haggard was aligned with the growing outlaw country movement, and has continued to release successful albums through the 1990s and into the 2000s. In 1994, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 1997, he was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.

As Peel had lived in Oklahoma City, he could sympathise with the "Okies" as well as the hippies. Haggard had also recorded the original version of "I'm A Lonesome Fugitive", a song which Peel enjoyed singing, as Sheila Ravenscroft relates in Margrave of the Marshes.

The Grateful Dead recorded his "Mama Tried", while Peel had a fondness for Roy Buchanan's version of "I'm A Lonesome Fugitive". Later, The Mekons covered Haggard's "Skid Row" for a Peel session in 1987.
