Backwoods Appeal. In the midst of country's booming supermarket of traditional goods and new brands, teaser displays and soaring profits, Merle Haggard stands virtually alone as a pure, proud and prominent link between country's past and present. He is not about to record with a couple of dozen violins to woo the easy-listening audience or hire a rock band to turn on the kids. Haggard has wide enough range and appeal already.

In a concert hall, on a record, even over a loudspeaker in a supermarket, music works on our emotions more than our intellects. And though the basic emotional response may be roughly the same for a wide range of people, the more specific nature of the emotion--and certainly any moral implication--depends on the preconceived ideas of the listener...
