A portion of the inside liner notes from the album's executive producers, Tom Russell and Dave Alvin.

The music of Merle Haggard embodies a unique vision and spirit of independence. From it's beginnings in the uncompromising, hard-edged California country sound, Haggard's legacy has grown to include a diverse array of influences and directions that make it one of the most important bodies of American musical work.

This project wasn't conceived of as "the stars doing Merle's hits"; just a group of acclaimed roots performers singing their favorite Merle song. As we listened back to the performances we were moved by each singer's ability to get inside the Haggard song and make it his or her own.
