I think this is his all time masterpiece. There are many country music singers, but the Hag really digs into his soul. He's the best "troubador" that ever lived.

This song is in my definitive "Top 5" of any and all Hag's tunes. And I've been a colossal fan since age 19 or so and I'm 59 now so over last 40 years I've heard em all again and again and this puppy still makes hair on back of my neck stand at attention. LOVE IT!!!

The greatest.....an understatement if there ever was one.....and it all came about honestly. School of reality, life, hard knocks, ups, downs, sucesses and failures. No stupid popularity television shows, synthesized sound, just a guy who lived it, sang about it and did it his way every step, and connected with his audience like no other. His staples are true American treasures, hard to find a better example of songwriting than "Mama Tried". "It's all in the movies", although lesser known, did receive pretty heavy airplay on am radio(wbap). Another of his greatest(he didn't write it) is "What have you got planned tonight Diana". A love story if there ever was one. When I sing it, it is diffucult to get through the last verse if I think about it too much. God Bless Merle Haggard!!

I've had this bookmarked for years. Love this song. Toby Keith was talking about it on an 80s country show and sang it - was one of his favorite Merle Haggard songs. Toby was always a big Merle fan. Merle had such an impact on people I never tire of his singing. The older he got it got even better to me like this song.

There is great music and then there is a signature Haggard tune. This is simply fabulous and something that does not get much airplay, perhaps because it is so different for much of Merle's audience. Merle did a jazz album a number of years ago that a Toronto Jazz station featured a month or so ago that really was a surprice and, unfotruntaely, is hard to find...... sort like "All in the Movies"

They were so much in love with life, happy every way. But love the movie began with, some how got lost in the play. Like a fire burning out of control, You got caught up in the actor's role, And you cried on my shoulder when it came to an end. But that's all in the movies, It won't happen to you and I. That's all in the movies; so baby don't cry. It's all in the movies, It won't happen to us I know. That's all in the movies, Just a bad picture show.
