Merle Haggard interview contest
NOTE: This contest is now closed. Merle will choose the winners and answer their questions, and we’ll post the resulting interview soon. Thanks to all those who entered.
Recently, we shared a free stream of Merle Haggard’s new album Working in Tennessee, asking you to share your thoughts on it and comment with your favorite moment(s) on the disc.
With the disc now out in stores (it dropped this Tuesday, Oct. 4), we’ve teamed up once again with the fine folks at Vanguard Records to present yet another another contest. This time, though, we’d like to give you a chance to interview Merle.
This is how your interview will work: Merle will choose five lucky No Depression community members’ questions and send us his answers. Those five people will receive a free copy of Working in Tennesse on vinyl.
To enter, simply leave a comment on this blog post with a question you’d love to ask Merle. (Questions posted via Facebook or Twitter won’t count, nor will questions posted in separate blog posts on this or any other website.) To add your question to the comments, scroll to the bottom of this page and leave your question in the comment box before 11:59 p.m. PST on Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011.
As stated above, Merle will choose all five winners. We’ll post the resulting interview here as soon as we receive his answers.
Simple enough. Good luck!
