It was a commercial disappointment, peaking at number 47 on the Billboard country albums chart. It was co-produced by Mark Yeary, keyboardist of The Strangers. BackgroundBlue Jungle marked Haggard's first album with Curb after his run on Epic Records ended with his 1989 album 5:01 Blues. Two songs, "My Home Is in the Street" (co-written with wife Teresa) and "Under the Bridge", deal with the topic of homelessness. "Driftwood" is updated from the version that appeared on Haggard's 1979 MCA LP Serving 190 Proof. Curb released "Me and Crippled Soldiers" as the B-side to the single "When It Rains It Pours", a ballad that peaked at number 60 on the charts, Haggard's lowest charting single ever.[1] Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 =Allmusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|3|5}} [2] }} In his biography of Haggard, David Cantwell takes exception to "Me and Crippled Soldiers", noting that Haggard's line "We might as well burn the Bill of Rights as well" makes no sense, asking, "What good is a Bill of Rights if you can't practice the liberties it enshrines?" He also criticizes the recording itself, maintaining, "Merle's Bakersfield licks, normally switchblade sharp, have been processed into butter knives... Illogical, lifeless as a corpse, 'Me and Crippled Soldiers' might be the nadir of the Haggard catalogue."[3] The AllMusic review states: "...his songwriting expertise still remained intact...Blue Jungle is a glimpse of a performer with nothing to lose, away from the spotlight yet very much engaged with his material."[2] Track listing
