Their Worst Recordings

Merle Haggard -- His much-maligned "Daddy Frank" is that way for a reason or two.

Red Simpson -- He finally ran out of novelty material with "Yip-Yip."

Tommy Collins -- Not "Boob-I-Lak." Collins ran through "Okie From Muskogee" on his Starday LP Callin' like it was an aircheck.

Buck Owens -- "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy" is tempting, as is his remake of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," but the clear-cut winner is "It Takes People Like You (To Make People Like Me)."
