Pickin' on Merle Haggard puts the hits of the original country outlaw in the hands of a Nashville studio group and delivers a quaint set of background-quality instrumentals. That's basically the premise of the entire Pickin' On series and the end results vary widely in quality. The Merle Haggard edition fairs better than most; the selection is admirable and the renditions are alternately faithful and adventurous when compared to the Okie from Muskogee's original versions. Fans of Haggard will find this interesting and/or amusing, all others should find out why he deserves a tribute in the first place. ~ Wade Kergan Producer: Mark Thornton   Compilation Appearances Pickin' On Eagles Pickin' On Dylan-Tribute Pickin' On Bruce Springsteen-T Pickin' On George Strait Pickin' On The Dixie Chicks (Bluegrass Tribute) Pickin' On Santana-Bluegrass T Pickin' On Allman Brothers Pickin On Jimmy Buffet Pickin' On The Rolling Stones Pickin' On Southern Rock Pickin On Sheryl Crow Vol. 1-Pickin' On The Grateful Pickin' On Jerry Garcia Pickin' On Rem Pickin' On Faith Hill-Nashville Tribute Pickin' On Blues Traveler Pickin' On Jo Dee Messin Pickin On Reba Mcentire-A Tribute Picking On The Black Crowes-Tribute Pickin On Merle Haggard-A Tribute Pickin On-Bluegrass Tribute Pickin' On Travis Tritt-A Tribute Pickin' On The String Cheese Incident Pickin' On Alan Jackson Pickin' On Lonestar-A Tribute Pickin' On Brooks & Dunn Pickin On George Strait Vol. 2 Fantastic Pickin On Series Pickin On Rascal Flatts-Bluegrass Pickin On The Ledzepplin Volume Ii Pickin On Toby Keith Pickin' On Bruce Springsteen Volume 2 Pickin On George Strait Volume 1 & 2 Pickin On Jack Johnson Pickin On Brad Paisley Pickin' On Toby Keith Vol. Ii Pickin' On Clint Black Pickin' On Kenny Chesney Vol. 2 Pickin' On Hank Williams Jr. Pickin' On Alan Jackson Vol. Ii Pickin On Leann Rimes Pickin' On Joe Nichols Pickin On Crosby Stills Nash & You Pickin On Diamond Rio Pickin On Coldplay Pickin On Big & Rich Pickin On Tracy Byrd Pickin On Nancy Sinatra Pickin On Rod Stewart And The Faces Pickin On Los Lonely Boys Pickin On Lee Ann Womack Pickin On Montgomery Gentry Pickin On Franz Ferdinand Pickin On Eric Clapton Vol 2 Long Live Bluegrass:cmh Records 30th Pickin On Rascal Flatts:vol 2 Pickin On Lonestar Pickin On Brad Paisley Vol 2 Pickin On John Mayer:vol 2 Pickin On Pickin On Gretchen Wilson Vol 2: Pickin' On Kenny Rog Pickin' On Country's Pickin On 0606 Doing Alright: Pickin On Van Zant Bluegrass / Pickin On Keith Urban 2: The Lonely Road / Va Pickin On Brooks Dunn   Technical Info Release Date : 02/05/2002 Original Release Date : 2002 Catalog ID : 8674 Label : CMH Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00027297867420
