About

I'm Always on a Mountain When I Fall is an album by country music singer Merle Haggard, released in 1978. It reached #17 on the Country album chart. In the span of two years, Haggard switched record labels, divorced Bonnie Owens, married backup singer Leona Williams, and moved to Nashville to record with Jimmy Bowen. In the CMT episode of Inside Fame dedicated to Haggard, Owens speculates that Haggard preferred climbing the ladder of success more than being at the top "'cause he did seem like he did everything he could to fall down again so he could climb back up." I'm Always On A Mountain When I Fall was released in June 1978 and performed a career worst chart wise (Capitol's 1977 collection, A Working Man Can't Get Nowhere Today, had only reached #28 but had been released after Haggard had left the label), but the album did produce two hits: both the title track and "It's Been A Great Afternoon" reached #2.
