Icon: Hag's Christmas

by Merle Haggard

Overview

Icon: Hag's Christmas collects ten Christmas carols, holiday tunes, and "If We Make It Through December," all recorded during Merle Haggard's glory years at Capitol. It's not an official Christmas album -- Merle didn't head into the studio with the intent of cutting this specific record -- but since all the music was recorded within a few years, it holds together very well. It may be a budget-priced compilation, but it's one of the better country Christmas albums you'll hear. Hag's Christmas was originally issued in 2007 as A Country Christmas with Merle Haggard with the same track listing but a different cover. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
