A Portrait of Merle Haggard is the tenth studio album by American recording artist Merle Haggard, released on September 2, 1969.
The album contains two number-one country hits, "Hungry Eyes" and "Workin' Man Blues". Haggard wrote "Hungry Eyes" as a tribute to his mother and the sacrifices she made for her family as a single mother (Haggard's father having died when he was 9), but it also stands as a tribute to Oklahomans and others who lived in labor camps during the Great Depression. "Hungry Eyes" is considered by many to be one of Haggard's greatest pieces of songwriting.
