A Taste of Yesterday's Wine

A Taste of Yesterday's Wine is an album by American country music artists George Jones and Merle Haggard, released in 1982. This was their first album together; their next album together, Kickin' Out the Footlights...Again, would not come until 24 years later in 2006. Jones and Haggard were largely influenced by the Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell tradition. The album was produced by Billy Sherrill and featured backing vocals by Haggard's wife Leona Williams. It also features tributes to the singers, including "Silver Eagle", written by Freddy Powers and Gary Church about Haggard, and "No Show Jones", written by Jones and Glenn Martin and dealing with Jones' notorious inability to arrive at concert dates. The single "C.C. Waterback" was a top ten hit. In the UK Hallmark Records issued an LP with the same title, artwork (as shown) and tracks but with a different track order.
