Cultural Facts:
- Studio Lore: Back To The Barrooms returned Merle Haggard to hard-country themes, with heartbreak, drinking songs, and sharp band arrangements built around his plainspoken vocal style.
- Notable Track: āI Think Iāll Just Stay Here And Drinkā became one of his signature barroom anthems, mixing humor, resignation, and a perfect honky-tonk groove.
- Scene Ecology: The album shows Haggard still carrying the Bakersfield sound into the 80s, keeping twang, steel guitar, and working-class country grit alive.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though itās not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
