ХАГГАРД МЕРЛ//HAGGARD MERLE

Мерл Хаггард.

ХАГГАРД МЕРЛ (Haggard Merle) (р. 6 апреля 1937, Бейкерсфилд, Калифорния), американский кантри-певец (один из самых знаменитых в стиле кантри). Его голос окрестили «острием бритвы».

Отсидев три года в тюрьме за грабеж, где он пел в тюремном ансамбле, Хаггард начал выступать в 1960. В 1966 его песня I'm A Lonesome Fugitive стала хитом номер один. Президент Никсон назвал Хаггарда своим любимым певцом кантри, а президент Рейган, который в то время был губернатором Калифорнии, простил ему все прежние его прегрешения. В период с 1973 по 1976 он занимал девять раз первое место в хит-параде Соединенных Штатов. В 1983 Хаггард был объявлен банкротом, но это не слишком повлияло на его расположение духа.
