About
With 1967’s <i>I’m a Lonesome Fugitive</i>, the spare, tough sound that Merle Haggard had been refining all decade long finally snapped into focu. Compared to the countrypolitan artists of the day—who were pop-friendly and string-oriented—Haggard was a reactionary, stripping away the polish to expose the bones underneath. And if countrypolitan had marked Nashville’s expansion into the broader stream of American music, Haggard represented a retreat to the pre-pop dawn of Bob Will, Lefty Frizzell, and Hank William. Just as rock music continually die, only to be defibrillated by young purists taking things back to basic, Haggard used <i>I'm a Lonesome Fugitive</i> to remind people what country music had once been: raw, sentimental, out on bail—and a little bit drunk. .
