Merle Haggard’s ‘Okie From Muskogee’ Gets 45th Anniversary Reissue

45 years after Merle Haggard released his live album, 'Okie From Muskogee,' the record will be re-released on Capitol Nashville.

The original recording, which included 'Workin' Man Blues' and 'Mama Tried,' won Haggard several awards, including an ACM Award for Album of the Year and one for Single of the Year for the record's title track.

The two-disc anniversary edition of 'Okie From Muskogee' will also include the out-of-print 1970 live recording of 'The Fightin' Side of Me,' which was the follow-up to 'Okie From Muskogee.' In addition, this new collection marks the first time listeners can own a remastered CD/digital version of the project.

Other tunes in the collection include 'Mama Tried,' 'White Line Fever,' 'Folsom Prison Blues' and 'Devil Woman.' See a complete track listing below.

The 76-year-old is rumored to be working on new music with Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. The anniversary edition of 'Okie From Muskogee' will be available on March 25.
