Merle Hazard is perhaps best known for his songs about the credit crisis.  He is the first and only country singer to write about mortgage-backed securities, derivatives, and physics.

    NEW RELEASE: “Greek Debt Song.”  (Paul Solman, of the PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, works the song into one of his reports here.)

    Μήνυμα στους Έλληνες ακροατές.  (Link for the Greek audience.)

   Merle is known to many as “The Man in Beige.”  He should not be confused with one of his country heroes, the singer Merle Haggard.  They are totally separate.  They do not even sing about the same things, for the most part.
