Mama Tried (Vinyl)

Mama Tried is Merle Haggard's 7th studio album, released on Capitol Records in 1968. The self-penned title track is one of Haggard's most enduring songs and spent 4 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot County Singles chart.

The album cover is one of country music's most iconic, showing Haggard dressed in a prison uniform, sadly strumming a guitar.
