About
For over half a century Merle Haggard has been a champion of the misunderstood, the outcasts, and yes, even the outlaws. Forging a new path because the one Nashville had charted was too polished and removed from real life for his liking, Haggard and his Bakersfield brethren (including Buck Owens) were the forefathers of the alt country movement that took root in the '90s. In fact, fans inclined to buy tickets to Wilco or Ryan Adams would find themselves right at home alongside fans of more traditional country at a Merle Haggard concert, connecting with the man who once described himself as an "Okie from Muskogee" - an uncompromising truth teller who never turned his mind or heart away from the working class. While the last of the Country Music Hall of Famer's staggering 37 No. 1 hits may have been in 1986, his recent albums prove that while time marches on his talent and vision remain steadfast. As he's shown on tour as well as in 2010's aptly titled album I Am What I Am, Haggard is as sharp a social critic as ever. Meanwhile his 2012 album Working In Tennessee proved that despite the title, his heart is still firmly in Bakersfield - and fans are all the better for it.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Show great, but venue needs improvement.
by Feedmysoulwithmusic on 4/9/17Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleI'm not even a Merle Haggard fan-I was only going because of the artists scheduled to appear, and I have to say I enjoyed it more than I expected. I didn't know most of the songs, but not many people can say they saw Willie Nelson and Keith Richards sing a duet! It was a nice tribute to an artist that influenced many people that I am a fan of. The venue needs to work on getting people into the venue efficiently and on time! This has been an issue ever since they added the metal detectors. I'm all for safety, but they need to look for solutions to make this work. Having hundreds of people trying to get into the venue and making them late for the start of the show is really unacceptable. Thank goodness I'm one of those people who get there early.

by Udonotwant on 4/9/17Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleAll performs were great! I especially enjoyed Jamey Johnson who happens to be my favorite. Loretta's appearance was special. I liked that Ben Haggard performed plus he remained on stage along with Jamey Johnson to play backup.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Amazing Memories of Merle Haggard
by articb on 4/9/17Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleThis was a great 'honor show' of Merle Haggard music. The best line up of Country stars came out to remember him, and his music. The program was A plus, the venue was not. Bridgestone arena has horrible acustics, and the echo in the arena spoiled some of the sound for me. Still, the Spirit of the show, and the entertainers was amazing and heart warming, full of memories.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Haggard Tribute was incredible!
by ALGator on 4/9/17Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleA filmed for TV event with an all-star cast. Ticket prices were reasonable for a 3.5 hr show featuring the biggest names and legends in music. Not just country artists, but rock (Keith Richards and Billie Gibbons) and blues. I will definitely go to the next CMT tribute show like this.
