Merle's 5th album is an overall good listen. Three tracks "My Hands Are Tied" , "Don't Get Married" & "Go Home" have a 'mexicana' flavor that never suited Merle well. Perhaps an ode to the popular Marty Robbins?

There are some timeless classics spread throughout as well such as the title track, "You Don't Have Very Far To Go" and "I Threw Away The Rose". Couple these with the whimsical "Gone Crazy" and "I Made The Prison Band" and you have a smorgasbord of sorts making this album one of my least favorites to listen to all the way through.

However, Merle's voice is flawless throughout!
