"Mama Tried" has an overall upbeat feel leaving the listener happy and uplifted. Merle's voice is spectacular on every track. The title track would go on the be Merle's 5th #1 hit in only 2 years. Hag's rendition of "Green, Green Grass Of Home" is superb!
The whimsical "Run 'Em Off" is a pleasant surprise.
