About
5:01 Blues is the 46th studio album by recording artist Merle Haggard, with backing by The Strangers. It was released in 1989 and was his last studio album on the Epic label. It peaked at #28 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. It was co-produced by Mark Yeary, keyboardist of The Strangers. Although Haggard's tenure with Epic had been a success in its first three years, producing 12 Top 10 hits (with nine of them going to #1), his relationship with the label deteriorated in the latter part of the 1980s. 5:01 Blues was to be his last studio album with Epic. The single, "A Better Love Next Time", became Haggard's last Top 5 solo single, while two other singles, "If You Want to Be My Woman" and the title track, failed to crack the Top 20 on the country charts. A final single, the opener "Broken Friend" did not chart. "Someday We'll Know" was co-written by Haggard and Teresa Lane, who later become Haggard's fifth wife.
