The Story Behind: Merle Haggard and The Strangers - I'm a Lonesome Fugitive
Description
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Merle Haggard was in and out of prison several times before being discovered by Lefty Frizzell and launching a musical career based on the latest and greatest country music movement: the Bakersfield sound. The guys get together to discuss rumdums, second-story men, and bone orchards.
