Merle Haggard
Merle Ronald Haggard is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and country music player. Haggard was born in Oildale, California during the Great Depression. His childhood struggled after the death of his father and he was jailed many times when he was young. After being released from San Quentin State Prison in 1960, he changed his life and began a successful career in country music. He was famous for his working class songs, sometimes with conformist and cynical themes contrasting with the anti-Vietnam sentiment prevailing in many popular music of the time.
