It was released on October 4, 2011 by Vanguard Records. This is also the second Merle Haggard album released by Vanguard. Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 =AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|3.5|5}} [1] | rev2 =Robert Christgau | rev2Score = A- [2] |rev3 = Spin | rev3Score ={{rating|6|10}}[3] }} Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic praised the album, writing "Hag never rushes things, never turns up the volume, his western swing now bearing a closer resemblance to the gentlemanly amiability of Hank Thompson instead of the wild, woolly Bob Wills. He’s proceeding at the pace of a 74-year-old legend with nothing to prove, yet he’s not resting on his laurels, he’s just doing what he’s always done: singing songs so expertly his virtuosity almost goes unnoticed."[1] In his review, music critic Robert Christgau only wrote "Now 74 and short half a lung, he's not making the best music of his life, just the best albums... Man's learned how to live, and he has no intention of stopping."[2] Spin writes of the style, "His greatest skill remains how convincingly he stands in, and stands up, for regular guys, even when he's coasting... Working in Tennessee glides along on its Bakersfield groove with the greatest of ease, despite the album's title."[3] Track listing{{tracklist| title1 = Working in Tennessee | writer1 = Merle Haggard | length1 = 2:22 | title2 = Down on the Houseboat | writer2 = M.
