A clip from 1984. Merle would release "Wouldn't That be Something" twice; Once on the "5:01 Blues" album, and again on the "Bluegrass Sessions". "Color Me" was never released.

How many singers do you know who could sit on a couch with just a guitar and sound like that. None folks. You just saw the best singer song writer in country music history

Love Mr Freddie & Mr Merle. I LOVE THIS SONG & THE FACT THAT HE IS SINGING FOR BONNIE. SHE LOVED HER MERLE. IN THE HAG, It tells what happen for Her leaving Mr Merle. But She Still always Loved Him. And I think He Loved Her Later Own. The Together They Were BEAUTIFUL.

Merle Haggard such a Powerful story teller of song's. I grew up listening to his music bcoz of my Dad was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame & Honor in 1987 in ATL. Ga. singer song writer & Dad admired every song "The Hag" ~(that's what Dad called him) they met @ The Playboy Room n Atl Ga. Merle always had only great songs I could listen to his tunes all day such a unique voice. I was so sorry when I heard he passed. I Prayed for his Family, friends & fans it broke my heart but true believer in God & God got another Angel in my heart. Thank you for posting this video I'm sure it was on his son's KZbin Ben Haggard sight. God Bless you all 🎶🎵🎶

Wouldn't that be something and we can really fly away and both be young again Wouldn't that be something we could look inside each other's minds always find each other when we needed to?

Back in the 70’s, when working at all country KWKY in Des Moines, received a recording by a Gene Watson a new artist out of Texas, the song was, If I’m. A fool for leaving, I’d be twice the fool to stay, I loved that record, just about wore it out, thought it was one greatest tunes I’d ever heard, since the Gene has never failed to impress me his music, he is a classic, right up there, Hank, Merle, Eddy and so many more I can’t recall. Anything Gene Watson does, I love. Larry Heaberlin, retired, KWKY, WHO, WCLU, KRMS and others.
