Thank you for acknowledging the 'Bakersfield Sound'! For being the 3rd largest country influence in the world ever, it does not get even close to enough credit. 💜🙃

[@spencerjoycelifestyle]

I think we need more Merle on the channel personally!

[@f150bft]

There are so many great Haggard songs

[@TexasMagnolia]

Master Songwriter of Legends. Just pick a song and you will be blown away! And never discount he was a master guitarist! I miss The Hag every day!

[@laupstad]

6:42 I believe the word you're looking for, and what this genre is usually called, is "outlaw country". It's clearly country, but with elements of rock and always controversial (For their time) lyrics.

[@johnrunion5357]

i would like to request the merle haggard song IRMA JACKSON from 1972 which is the first country song about a biracial couple.

[@johnellis3550]

Give it up for the drummer that guy can play drums damn.

[@matthewlee6168]

The Hag is the Gold Standard in country music.

[@delbertreno8089]

You would love some Waylon Jennings! A lot of his songs had a lot of the driving rythm like that! Gone way too soon!

[@teamrealtree0073]

Luke will never come close to what merl did. This is country what we stand for. What we still stand for today . The truth and what us important to use our family and friends .don't get any closer.

[@sillytabby1]

A favorite song of mine!

[@brianscottgadbaw749]

Oh shit mama tried is awesome

[@chriscade6918]

Merle Haggard is from Oklahoma Muskogee to be exact

[@jbc_8110]

No, he’s from California. Oilton I think

[@yes2day100]

@@jbc_8110 He grew up in Bakersfield. Family emigrated to California from Muskogee Oklahoma during the Dustbowl famine in the late '30s.

[@deanmeyer1815]

There were a few country groups that had a horn section. Don Williams had several hits with sax in it. "Heatbeat in the Darkness" was and aspecially good one. You like that one, check out the Hags "Working Man Blues" Aw, hell, any Haggard song is great.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Another Amazing Artist from Bakersfield is Dwight Yoakum! Huge rabbit hole!

[@jerrylee2425]

Lynard Skynyrd - Honky Tonk Night Time Man Its a Hag song.

[@thomasshull4728]

Hag passed away in 2016

[@thomasshull4728]

Hag passed on his 79th birthday.

[@DW-Blanco]

I stumbled across your channel and I really like what you're doing 1st of all you guys like Haggard and Jones so that tells me you know good music from bad I like to think there's no bad music just different good job. I would like to see you react to Niel McCoy A little at a time

[@f150bft]

Merle was a fan of "George Dickel" Tennessee Whisky. Cause "The Hag don't back no dogs" was a slogan back in the mid 80's

[@markcain9312]

My favorite song of his is Sing Me Back Home

[@kianmcgovern7346]

honestly listen to cast no shadow by oasis at maine road 1996 incredible possibly their best gig

[@labchic97]

You should watch the live version of this. It's great

[@EarthWalker2023]

Great song

[@carnifexmactator]

Great song from a local boy. Greetings from Nashville West, Bakersfield, California. Oh, just to let y’all in on a little something, there are two sides to the Bakersfield Sound. The Buck Owens, polished, commercial sound. And the Merle Haggard, Honky Tonk, outlaw, I don’t give a damn what you think sound. I prefer the latter. Enjoy, y’all.

[@moosetruck66]

Thanks for reacting to Merl, He's a Country Legend ! Try reacting Waylon Jennings sometime. 'Lonesome Onry and Mean' is a good start.

[@TheKawkawlin8]

FYI, this song BELONGS in an "old ass broken down truck". Lord knows it plays in mine

[@nathankahl9892]

Fun fact they say his fist album was Jonny cash live from folsum prison he was in the audiance

[@UncleStook]

Merle was in San Quentin prison not Folsom. However, Johnny Cash did do a concert there also while Merle was a prisoner.

[@sabbyvk424]

Check out Merle Haggard & Willie Nelson - "It's All Going To Pot" it's a fun one lol

[@taronhowell2523]

Merle was the best

[@HippieGypsy1]

Merle's momma was from Oklahoma!!

[@donellefeltham]
