1. Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews #26: H. Rider Haggard
- public.logica.com
- Rider Haggard.
- If Sir Henry Rider Haggard were writing today, some of his books would be marketed as fantasy, others as thrillers, or historical fiction. ...
- Haggard wrote adventure fiction. ...
- Haggard's books display the paradoxical attractions of the best genre classics: They retain much of their power, wonder, and freshness, but they also have to be appreciated as period pieces which could not have been published had they been written today. ... Like their books, those of Henry Rider Haggard can be enjoyed as long as the reader doesn't insist on thinking less of the author for not being born a century later. In Haggard's world, as in Kipling's, nobility, courage, and honor were not the property of any one race -- but God was definitely English.
- Haggard dashed it off in 1885 on a bet (that he could write something half as good as "Treasure Island") and it made an astonishing splash. The book introduces us to AllanQuatermain, the canny white hunter who was Haggard's most frequently returned-to character, who is engaged by a Sir Henry Curtis to help find his brother -- and perhaps the fabled diamond mines for which the brother was searching. ... "King Solomon's Mines" is the best known of Haggard's works, both as a book and as a movie.
- Haggard was to return to this lost-civilization-adventure formula several times, and with increasing skill. ...
- "She" (***+) is my favourite of Haggard's books. ... They, in turn, find wonders which so many later authors, taking their inspiration from Haggard, would turn into commonplaces, including the remains of a great prehistoric civilization and its lost secrets.
- "She" ended unhappily, but the lovers got a second chance when Haggard eventually wrote a sequel, imaginatively titled "The Return of She: Ayesha" (**+), which takes the adventurers to a lost city in central Asia in search of Ayesha. ... There's also "She and Allan" (**), a solid but unremarkable book Haggard used to get his two best characters into the same story.
- Haggard also brought his unique style to bear on historical material. ...
- It's not one of Haggard's better books, but it's important for the kind of fantasy it pioneered. ...

- CD Review: Merle Haggard 'Love Songs' (Epic/Legacy).
- Merle Haggard "Love Songs" (Epic/Legacy) As a country music figure, Haggard is best known for his hard-drinking hits of the '60s ("Swinging Doors" "The Bottle Let Me Down") and icons like "Mama Tried" and "Okie From Muskogee. ... Haggard's rocky road and irascible character provide a unique edge to his love songs. ... The Epic years were quite removed from his honky-tonk Bakersfield roots, yet the edges of Haggard's voice stake out sharp emotions among the soft productions of strings and piano. The sorrowfully hopeful Jimmy Dickens co-write "Shopping for Dresses" and the optimistic "Love Don't Hurt Every Time" both benefit from Haggard's deft vocal touch. More country-styled arrangements, such as "You Babe" and "Love Keeps Hanging On," are marked by '80s-styled instrumental choices, but Haggard's presence remains a powerful, steady center. ... " Overall this is an interesting way to slice Haggard's catalog, and though it provides neither a view of his overall epic catalog, nor a survey of his career arc's take on love, it does provide an insightful view of one side of his thinking through the 1980s. ...

8. Merle Haggard | Unforgettable
- www.allaboutjazz.com
- Merle Haggard | Capitol Records .
- Merle Haggard is, as the great Duke Ellington used to say, beyond category. ... There is a strong influence of both jazz and blues in Haggard's work, though it's usually labeled as country and western. ... Like full-fledged jazz singers, Haggard phrases with the assurance of a singer who knows where the pulse is all the time. ...
- Whereas jazz singers often search these old songs for a phrase or a melody they can elaborate and transform, Haggard lets the song do all the work; all he has to do is use his expressive voice to bring out the bruised tenderness present in most old songs, including Stardust. ... Haggard also swings gently through Pennies From Heaven (graced by Clint Strong's superb country-jazz guitar) and he brings new life to Cry Me A River, exhibiting a world-weariness light years from Julie London's sultry original version. Haggard is not, of course, the first country artist to make this leap into standards. ...
- Haggard is not stretching any envelopes, but this recording is filled with low-key piano-driven arrangements suited for a late-night smoky bar. Haggard's smooth and effortless voice, uncomplicated phrasing, and warm timbre give the lyrics a clear-headed beauty that is the hallmark of a performer with few pretensions. There are more technically gifted singers than Haggard, of course, but he does something that a lot of those technical singers cannot do, which is convey a helluva lot of truth and emotion. The key to anything touched by Haggard is honestywhether he's explaining his sinful past in one of his own drinking and cheating songs, or breathing life into an old standard like I'll Get By. ...
