5 out of 5 stars High Quality compilation.......2006-12-04

The third of five 2 on 1 early Merle reissues finds Merle at the mill cranking out some of his classic Bakersfield country. Of the two records on this compilation, Mama Tried is by far the most classic, but Pride in What I Am holds up quite solidly as one of Merle's reliable, laid-back folky country albums.

Mama Tried starts off with the classic title track--Merle always does well with semi-autobiographical material about prison life and disappointment, and the lively background singing is one of those golden elements to Merle's sound. "Green Green Grass of Home" is another well-interpreted cover from Merle which far outshines Tom Jones' version for its authenticity and emotion. The joyride feel of "Little Ol' Wine Drinker Me" is another great cover, as is Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues." "I'll Always Know" is interesting--sounds somewhat like a 50's pop rock and roll song more than characteristic Haggard. "Sunny Side of My Life" and "Too Many Bridges" are great up-tempo tunes, and the back-porch sound of "Run 'em Off" is another classic. Basically, on Mama Tried, Merle takes his classic formula of pedal steel, high-energy vocal arrangements, and excellent material to turn in one of the best albums of his early career, chock full of classics.

Pride In What I Am is solid, to be sure, but doesn't shine quite as brightly as the often up-tempo Mama Tried. The title track is certainly a classic, and it sounds less characteristically Bakersfield. This album has more ballads, like "It Meant Goodbye to Me ... " and "Keep Me From Crying Today," and some Spanish-influence like on "I Just Want to Look at You One More Time." The slower tracks are good, but aren't as heartwrenching as some of Merle's finest ballads (although "Skid Row" is pretty classic), so the album feels a little slower than some others. However, there are a couple of great romps like "I'm Bringing Home Good News" and "I Think We're Living in the Good Old Days" that prove that even if a Merle Haggard album wasn't one of his very best, it's still pretty damn good. The driving tune "White Line Fever" is another great addition as a bonus track to this reissue.

Overall, this 2fer is carried by Mama Tried, the stronger of the two for its covers and originals and a truly classic Merle album. Pride in What I Am is a great solid effort and sounds really good in addition to the essential listening of Mama Tried, so this is well worth the buy. If you're new to Merle, this one would be a good choice to start with because of Mama Tried, but don't stop here--the other reissues are spectacular as well!

5 out of 5 stars Truely fine work from good Ole' Merley Haggard!.......2006-04-05

These two albums are finally on one cd. I call him Merle'd Haggard, but it don't matter two flicks of a dime because these 2 albums, which are his originally 8th & 9th recorded albums, are priceless and every song on this single disk is a treasure. I am particularly glad that they put the bonus track "White Line Fever" on here. It is a great tune, and although on other cds it has been hard for me to find. A fine bonus tune indeed. There's a treasure trove of other bonuses on this cd that have never been released in addition to this. Another bonus that particulary touched me was "You're Not Home Yet", which you'll have to listen to to see how beautiful it is.
There are also covers of other people songs on here such as Porter's "Green Green Grass Of Home" and Johnny's "Folsom Prison Blues" which are sung with deep passion. If you don't like covers don't let that hinder you from getting this because if you like the Hag like I do you'll understand the feeling he puts into any and all of songs, especially being in prison when Johnny Cash played "Folsom Prison Blues". This is a real good buy for 29 songs that define a genre of music.

        5 out of 5 stars Merle's Truest and Best.......2006-02-07

        Perhaps the most quintessential "Bakersfield-Sound" album ever recorded. Now you're covering a whole lot of territoy having said that. There's everyone from Buck Owens to Sonny James and Hank Thompson and the great Merle Haggard himself. Nobody could make you feel the hurt of having been taken from your home and living life behind bars. Nobody, not Johnny Cash, not George Jones, not even sweet ole' Willie Nelson. No Sir! Merle is special and this is Merle at his truest and best! Long live the sounds of Bakersfield...Long Live Merle Haggard!

        5 out of 5 stars One great album.......2002-01-30

        An underappreciated gem (I can't believe there are no other reviews). Many critics call this Merle Haggard's best album-- at least from the 60s-- and I tend to agree. It leads off with the title track, a great Haggard original (Bob Weir used to sing this with the Grateful Dead), and on this track as well as others, the use of one acoustic and one electric guitar provides a sound that both rocks and recalls traditional country. The band is excellent and the production is pleasantly subdued-- no soaring string sections obscuring the other instruments. Another standout track is I'll Always Know, also a Haggard original. Covers of Cash's Folsom Prison, and Green Grass of Home (which Cash did beautifully on Live at Folsom Prison), while they can't unseat Cash's versions, are very good. Little Ol' Wine Drinker Me is excellent, and Too Many Bridges to Cross Over is another highlight. Only Run 'Em Off is a dud, in my opinion.

          Product Description

          Not content to sit behind her spectacles in a cozy uptown office, Pascale Jean-Louis takes her psychotherapy to the stage where she advises from experience. With a voice at once slippery and severe, DiaboliqueÂ’s frontwoman is not araid to dredge up or rehash the unpleasantries of life. DiaboliqueÂ’s unique brand of rock ensnares the listener with buzz-saw guitars, deep grooves and hypnotic vocals reminiscent of Chrissy Hynde matched with the gaul of Courtney Love. The bandÂ’s EP, Uses of Disorder, establishes Diabolique as the voice of a collective urban unconscious: downtrodden,spat-upon, cracked up and aching for more. Their unique merging of undeniable command and molten vulnerability distinguishes Diabolique as the quintessential band for an injured generation struggling to define itself.
