Certain Songs #1129: Merle Haggard – “Skid Row”
Posted by Jim Connelly in Certain Songs on Feb 13, 2018
Album: Down Every Road
Year: 1962
Merle Haggard is another one of those artists where I spent years and years figuring that I’d get around to him eventually, but it took his death a couple of years ago for me to finally dig out the Down Every Road box set and see what I’d been missing all these years.
Turns out, quite a lot, and honestly, I’m still working my way through it, but it was clear that Merle Haggard pretty much had his thing in mind from the very start.
