You are right about that but I am so thankful it’s available on KZbin to enjoy.

@@davidpeckham9136 There's a few country music radio stations still that only play true classic country music. One in southern Illinois for sure but I can't remember the name of it. But I'm sure as time goes by, more will be available when they realize that most of today's country is pretty much a joke Let's at least hope so.

Not in a million. I grew up on Haggard and a small part of me died with the day he parted this mortal plan. It’s odd how someone whom you’ve never met can have a direct affect on a persons life. Merles songs resonated with my soul

At this point Merle still had his voice and playing ability. He exudes confidence and was at his best. These recorded concerts are priceless of a super artist.

[@billcorrie6064]

She has a voice that enhances every song she has ever accompanied, without withstanding her quality as as a solo singer

[@VictorMawhinney]

I have agree with you on that 👍🎸👍

[@davidmaxwell4404]

Agree. She, in a way, takes over this song.

[@anj3595]

Wow! Three masters of the musical notes. This needs to happen more often. And, to think Jim Ed didn’t like her voice, in the very beginning.

[@tonypartigianoni1888]

American country singer Merle Haggard left behind a legacy that forever changed country music. Merle Haggard was a devout Christian, stating “It’s almost embarrassing to know that the Lord cares that much for me, but I’m going to shout it to the world.” Much like his late friend Johnny Cash, Haggard was no saint.

[@ConnieMorrow-im2ni]

next to Whitley my favorite

[@SeanTaniane]

What a combination, Merle Haggard and Janie Fricke. They complimented each other like no other two singers I have ever heard.

[@gailcaldwell1512]

As a kid, I can remember listening to this on the radio when it first came out and I was so moved, almost to tears. And of course part of that was because of the way “The Hag” could almost transport you into a song for those 2-3 minutes in that absolutely masterful way. BUT ADDITIONALLY, The ONE AND ONLY Miss Janie Frickie, was(and still is) also an ABSOLUTE MASTER in the way she could add to songs, and to this day I don’t think she EVER got enough credit (outside the Nashville community) for how she helped so many songs SORE TO #1, because of the sound she helped create. And this song is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!

I've watched several of his duets with her and she looks to me like she barely knows the words to the songs. I know that's not true but she just seems terribly out of sync. If that's her style I'm not a fan.

To get thrown into San Quentin for non-violent convictions and prior escapes, and then to come out of prison and redeem himself to become an accomplished writer, singer, instrumentalist, and performer.
