Haggard survived a misspent youth and a spell in San Quentin to become one of country’s most revered singers and songwriters. Though health problems have wreaked havoc on his touring schedule in recent years, Haggard displays plenty of fire on The Bluegrass Sessions (2007). Even at 71, he’s still tough enough to make most of Nashville’s wannabe outlaws seem like they’re all hat and no cattle.—Jason Anderson
