Last of the Breed
REVIEWED BY RALPH NOVAK
COUNTRY

Old guys like to reminisce—and this trio of country music Hall of Famers skillfully takes listeners back with outstanding updates of country classics like Harlan Howard's "Heartaches by the Number" and the repentant "Why Me Lord," written by actor-musician Kris Kristofferson, who also sings backup on the track. Almost as enjoyable on this two-disc set are the two new tracks: Haggard's bluesy "Sweet Jesus" and Nelson's wistful "Back to Earth."
