 Merle Haggard album Hag 1971, Shelly's Winter Love
Perhaps Haggard had a great stock of songs saved up during those two years, because Hag is one of his absolute best albums — which means a lot, because he recorded no shortage of great records.

This album turned out no less than four hits, with three of them addressing larger issues: the revival of Ernest Tubb's WWII hit "Soldier's Last Letter" is now cast in the shadow of Vietnam, Haggard's original "Jesus, Take a Hold" ponders the state of the world, while Dave Kirby's "Sidewalks of Chicago" is about homelessness.
