20 NUMBER ONE HITS contains re-recorded versions of Merle Haggard's classic hits.

Compilation producer: Cary E. Mansfield.

Recorded in 1994 & 1995. Includes liner notes by Brian Mansfield.

Digitally remastered by Jim Phillips (Universal Mastering West, North Hollywood, California).

Merle Haggard is truly one of the legends of country music. Along with George Jones, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, Haggard has weathered personal adversity and shifting musical trends, been influential to a couple of generations of country (and rock & roll) performers, and produced a massive body of work, some of it as good as country music gets.

Recorded in the mid-'90s, 20 NUMBER ONE HITS features Haggard revisiting his chart-topping favorites. With the benefits of improved recording technology, hard-won maturity, and the perspective that only time brings, he challenges himself to improve upon his best-known songs. Haggard sings with a reflective but soulful approach, looking back while firmly rooted in the present. His band's sound is lean and subdued, maintaining the classic Bakersfield sound he helped establish, with no concessions made to new country or pop trends. This set is a fitting introduction to the massive Haggard canon, and a nice look back for die-hard fans.
