The Haggard brothers are continuing their father’s tradition, and they all have excellent singing skills (Son’s of Merle)
Noel and Ben Haggard are both musicians who have followed in the footsteps of their legendary father, Merle Haggard. “The Runnin’ Kind” is their collaborative album, where they perform a cover of two of their father’s classic songs “I’m A Lonesome Fugitive” and “All In The Movies”.
“I’m A Lonesome Fugitive” was originally released by Merle Haggard in 1967 and became one of his signature hits. The song tells the story of a man who has escaped from prison and is on the run from the law. It’s a classic example of Haggard’s ability to write and perform emotionally powerful country music.
“All In The Movies” is another one of Merle’s iconic songs, released in 1970. The song explores the notion of romantic love as something that can be overly influenced by movies and media, creating unrealistic expectations that are difficult to live up to in real life.
The expanded edition of the album likely includes additional content such as bonus tracks or other materials related to the recording of the album. Overall, it’s a great tribute to Merle Haggard’s music and legacy, performed by his talented sons.
