Country music star Merle Haggard releases two new gospel albums

COUNTRY MUSIC legend Merle Haggard has released two gospel albums. 'Cabin In The Hills' and Two Old Friends' were released Stateside on May 1. Produced by Haggard in his Tally Studios in Palo Sedro, California, 'Cabin In The Hills' includes the veteran's original gospel songs as well as oldies like "Love Lifted Me" and "Life's Railway To Heaven". Haggard performed and produced Two Old Friends' at Tally with gospel singer Albert E Brumley Jr, whose father penned such gospel standards as "I'll Fly Away" and "I'll Meet You In The Morning". "All these years Al and I have been friends, but we never have really recorded together," said Haggard, whose relationship with Brumley dates back to the early '60s when both performed on Cousin Herb And The Trading Post Gang, a Bakersfield, California, TV show. "Al has a terrific voice, an honest voice."
