Merle Haggard's songs of raw emotion have topped the Billboard charts forty-one times,
more than any other living country artist's. As notorious for his personal life as he is
for his artistry, Merle Haggard has ridden the incredible hights and shattering lows of al
life that many country artists merely write about in their songs. Now Merle Haggard's new
book, new duet with Jewel, performance with Jewel at the Country Music Awards, and his Pay
Per View special, will make him highliy visible this Fall.
From growing up in a boxcar, to struggles with drugs and alcohol and gambling, to three
divorces, and bankruptcy, Merle Haggard's new memoir MY HOUSE OF MEMORIES: For the Record
is a direct digest of a songwriter, singer, guitarist, ans arranger who is widely known as
"the poet of the common man."
Behind bars seventeen times by his seventeenth birthday, Haggard takes readers inside
solitary confinement at San Quentin, where he became an inmate at nineteen, and where he
witnessed brawls, killings.
Haggard talks about his "thirty-five-year bus ride" career, from bein embezzled,
to how he feels rejected by today's contry music industry. In this
rags-to-riches-and-back-again story, Haggard tells how he found salvation in the power of
love finally discovered through his fifth marriage, andthe unsurpassed joy of reentering
fatherhood.
Merle Haggard's MY HOUSE OF MEMORIES captures the triumpf of the human spirit through the
power of persistence. It is an against-all-odds saga of victroy over demons. Haggard hung
in there when others would hag it up, and now he is hotter than ever, with a CD, book, and
Pay Per View all coming this Fall.
