Merle Haggard And The Strangers - Branded Man

Review by Dee Cox

Branded Man, the third studio album by Merle Haggard and The Strangers, is a classic country album that showcases Haggard's songwriting talent and his unique vocal style. Released in 1967, the album features ten tracks that range from traditional country ballads to upbeat honky-tonk numbers.

The title track, "Branded Man," is a standout song that tells the story of a man who has been released from prison and is struggling to rebuild his life. Haggard's heartfelt vocals and the Strangers' tight instrumentation create a powerful and emotional performance. Other highlights include "Loneliness Is Eating Me Alive," a slow and mournful ballad, and "I Threw Away The Rose," a mid-tempo tune about lost love.

Throughout the album, Haggard's lyrics are honest and relatable, touching on themes of love, heartbreak, and redemption. The Strangers, who were one of the most respected backing bands in country music at the time, provide solid and dynamic musical support, adding depth and texture to the songs.
