By the time Merle Haggard played Nashville's Opryland theme park in 1982, he had a decade and a half of country stardom under his belt. He draws on one of the deepest repertoires in popular music on this Silver Eagle radio broadcast, including such mammoth hits as Okie from Muskogee, Workin' Man Blues, Big City, and I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink. The two-dozen-song set also includes less familiar tunes that testify to Haggard's astonishing versatility, including covers of classics by Bob Wills, Lefty Frizzell, and Jimmie Rodgers, as well as his hit duet with Leona Williams, The Bull & the Beaver. The complete broadcast is presented here in digitally remastered sound with background liners.
