The Chris Callaghan Show - "Merle Haggard, The Highwaymen and Me"!

Re-live the music of the Legends! The very best of the "Good Old Boys of Country" and "Troubadours and Outlaws". Plus Chris's own brand of country blues! Merle Haggard is known as "the singer's singer, the writer's writer, and the player's player" of country music. He had 38 chart-topping hits spanning his 50-year career. Combine into the mix the classic songs by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson aka The Highwaymen, and you have a very dynamic and powerful two-hour show. The Highwaymen were recognised as country music's first supergroup, where every song resonates strongly and reflects the ups and downs of their collective lives lived in real time as pioneers and outlaws of this music. They all stayed true to their unique sound as they shared the stories. Chris pays tribute to his favourite selection from their massive hits, plus some of his own original songs, which are proudly influenced by and interwoven amongst these absolute legends!
