Country Music Legend Merle Haggard Out of Hospital

Merle Haggard had a bit of a health scare last the weekend, when an illness forced him to cancel a show in Ft. Worth, Texas and sent him briefly to the hospital.
You can rest easy, the short length of Haggard’s hospital stay has to be taken as a good sign.
While announcing his upcoming album, ‘Working in Tennessee,’ he made sure to mention,  he’s feeling better than he has in a long time. “I’m swinging back in full throttle right now. Music keeps me alive. It makes me breathe better,” he said. “It’s funny, but I feel better when I come off a tour than when I start out.”
Merle haggard's new album, ‘Working in Tennessee,’ features nine new Haggard originals and two Johnny Cash covers, and is due October 4.
