The Peer Sessions is a studio album by American recording artist Merle Haggard released on the Audium label in 2002.

Contents

Background

The old pop and country standards recorded for this collection were taken from the Ralph S. Peer publishing catalogue. They were recorded between 1996 and 1998 when Haggard was still with Curb Records. Fellow Country Music Hall of Fame member Roy Horton worked with Haggard in selecting the tunes, and the pair came up with 12 songs from the pens of Jimmie Rodgers, Jimmie Davis, Floyd Tillman, and Tommy Duncan, among others.

Reception

Zac Johnson of AllMusic wrote: "Overall, The Peer Sessions work both as an interesting collection of classic country songs and a solid individual work."
