[@melissabrooke1146]

[@1stsharkb8]

Willie is the GOAT

[@sixpakshaker88]

I love that Townes Van Zant had cameos in this video.

[@geckoman1011]

This is top 5 all time favorite songs. It tells such a rich history in a beautiful way.

[@iselanelson1466]

This is a song of all songs. Beautiful / haunting.

[@williambliss4008]

Thanks for your honest take on this song.

[@jeffkeller2768]

Love this!

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

Merle and Willie

[@lisaboccardo4293]

Great tuna chose I love this song enjoy it I sure as heck to peace and love Lisa from Connecticut

[@lisaboccardo4293]

Try Hank Williams the first

[@CountessBecca]

Seven Spanish Angels by Ray Charles and Willie Nelson is quite beautiful also. Merle Haggard singing My Favorite Memory is great too! Love your reactions!

[@marypulley6512]

I have always Loved this video .Two greats, together. I am partial to Willie. He conquers Anything that he does. Acting singing in that special Willie voice and That Guitar, oh my goodness. All of his love songs are just for me. Merle also had a wonderful voice, unique for him ❤

[@dagr.johnsen2164]

Heard the song a million times but never seen this video to it. Thank you, Sir. There are tons and tons of songs by Nelson and Haggard you could dive in to. Together or seperate. Two of the best ever.

[@westtexasdave2140]

Merle is the GOAT in my book.

[@jennyjenny4501]

Merle Haggard is the GOAT

[@Edgessner]

I love you b bop beat

[@rockythorn9558]

Merle Haggard - Sing Me Back Home

[@kurtmadison9517]

Just something about that song.

[@daisysoup158]

You're gonna make me cry

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

Tears of joy, I hope

[@aaronstandingbear]

Very good movie called 'Barbarosa' that some images are from. Cult clasic western, one of my favourites staring Willie who is a very good actor as well. Realistic take on the times.

[@julietate7806]

Willie & Merle recorded an album, "Seashores of Old Mexico," that will blow you away. Every song is an experience. Check out "Jimmy the Broom."

[@michaelsmith5021]

Love this Song. Two greats for sure. Merle been a favorite artist many decades. Both LEGENDS!

[@kathrynstafford7099]

It has Mexican musical influences. He has a son, Lucas Nelson, who sounds alot like him. He taught Bradley Cooper how to play the guitar in the movie, A Star is Born. He has a band too.

[@pageribe2399]

Townes van Zandt, who wrote the song, is shown many times in the video. The easiest place to describe is near the end of the song he's the guy with the guitar in the group of people sitting around several tables with white tops, but he's here & there all through it. One of Townes' best songs is "To Live is to Fly." Best version, Cowboy Junkies.

[@coletedeux]

Beer for my Horses is a good one.

[@johncurran6031]

The song was written by Townes van Zandt who is in the video in the last scene in the diner. He's the man with his back to Pancho & Lefty playing a guitar.

[@josephhall1241]

Thanks for another great reaction

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

Thank you too!

[@edithmaxim2041]

Best video ever. mini movie

[@anfrankogezamartincic1161]

Classic song written by classic songwriter. Townes Van Zandt is his name.

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Willie Nelson has been on the scene since forever. He is a true talent.

[@jehuxtable]

Merle's songs always sounded heartfelt, whether they were sentimental, romantic, funny or political.

[@iwardyyzZ]

Ashley Campbell does an amazing cover of this!

[@tekay44]

Lefty did Pancho dirty. Great song, btw, the guy playing the guitar in the diner at the end is Townes Van Zandt, he wrote this song.

[@aceldamia9114]

I love seeing Townes in this video.

[@GranpaMike]

I love the original by Townes Van Zandt, but any song that Willie and Merle did together was fabulous before they even recorded it. :) Townes probably loved to hear them do his song. Thank you for reacting to this one.

[@BitchinStitches]

Townes is in the final diner scene playing the guitar. I think that's a definite songwriter stamp of approval...of course, how crazy do you have to be to disapprove of Willie and Merle covering your magnum opus?

[@yagojigouhh7834]

​@@BitchinStitches yeah! he's also in a couple other scenes playing one of the Federales haha. Put my mind at ease seeing his cameo endorsement.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

This song could not be more perfect and Townes is very proud , I'm sure.............

[@TheFacrecords]

He is proud! He loves it!

[@TexasMagnolia]

Two of the greatest!

[@marlakay]

Would love you to react to Willie and Snoop!

[@lisaboccardo4293]

Do it it's great

[@lisaboccardo4293]

Like heck love your picks snoop and Willie roll me up and smoke the name

[@xScooterAZx]

3 great legends you mean.The third being Townes Van Zandt. He was in the video in several places. He will always be loved.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

No doubt

[@JHargis68]

Willie and Merle had just finished recording their album when Willie heard a version of this song by Emmylou Harris. He woke Merle up at 4am yelling "We gotta record this song!" They immediately went into the studio and cut it, and not only did it become the album's title track it became a monster #1 hit.

[@niekko5969]

These vids are great! Breaks down barriers for all of us? Keep them coming; Try Glen Campbell, Lineman for the County

[@warrenburlingame1172]

Two legends. I've always thought they should have made a movie about this song. Definitely react to Snoop and Willie

[@lisaboccardo4293]

Yes yes snoop and willie

[@jerrykinnin7941]

Willie Nelson was a song writer first. Over 400 songs written. Patsie Cline's Crazy was written by Willie.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

What a tallent!

[@ernesttarver2533]

The ultimate friendship and betrayal saga. Townes van Zant's masterlpiece. As a tributte van Zant is featured in this video in almost every scenel.

[@itsallgood4093]

The newspaper clipping Merle puts in the drawer looks like the same picture of Willie that is on the cover of the Outlaws album.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

I think it’s the same pic

[@Kentuckyfatwhiteboy]

Two great legends

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

It just got blocked, im disputing. Glad you caught it.

[@DogAlpha]

When I was a boy there was Country and Western music. They dropped the western part. It would be like they dropped the B in R and B music. Or Roll didn’t have a Rock. I miss the Western monicker.

[@brianmasinelli9694]

Good job! Subscriber here

[@deb5710]

Great ballad, great vocals from Merle and Willie. "Poncho and Lefty" is a great album to add to your collection as well.

[@benjamminnw]

Great reaction and commentary. I love how you recognize the different sound as compared to other country. If you want, I suggest checking out The Highwaymen - ‘Highwayman’

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

Keep jammin. I'll check out the Highwayman

[@thomaskline]

A great Townes’s Van Zandt song.

[@desperateambrose5373]

Written by Townes Van Zandt. I highly recommend Emmylou Harris's cover of this!

[@RkyMtMa]

The first federales that they do close ups of in most of the shots, who is the one with the guitar at the end, is Townes Van Zandt,, who wrote this song. His life was tragic but he.was an amazing song writer and incredible on the guitar. Highly recommend checking him out. Also Merles live songs, with very few exceptions, blow away his studio work as far as voice quality.

[@medvolts]

Wow. I’ve seen this video several times and I just noticed that Townes was in this video. Very talented songwriter and a tragic story.

[@brianmasinelli9694]

A great great Merle song is ' Are the good times really over ' . Won song of the year and oh what a message.

[@christyshultz6443]

True story the real poncho I think only left a gold watch behind it's in a museum somewhere. I couldn't tell you if there was really a lefty but I can tell you that there was a poncho.

[@patwelch8187]

The writer of this song is...Townes Van Zant ..You see him with the guitar at 4:40

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

Yup, reacted to a couple of his songs. Check out my playlist.

[@coy0te9]

The song was written by the great Townes Van Zandt, a third country legend. The skinny guy with the guitar sitting behind Willie and Merle towards the end.

[@anfrankogezamartincic1161]

Try Willys reggae album, COUNTRYMAN

[@DBShouse69]

I've always like Merle more than Willie, but Willie is good. You should listen to "Mama Tried" or "Sing Me Back Home", by Merle.

[@bethkahn8278]

Good choices.

[@codydrobinson]

Sing me back home is one of the greatest songs ever

[@collinlatter8105]

itsgood

[@JHargis68]

If you liked this western themed video check out Waylon and Willie's "Clean Shirt" and The Highwaymen's "Silver Stallion".

[@carolinasbeauty]

Please react to Emmylou Harris' version of this song. Willie and Merle heard her version of this song and said, "That's the way we want to do it!" And they did. Thank you!

[@no1treman]

You probably know by now but.... that is a Towns Van Zandt song.

[@bethkahn8278]

Both of my suggestions were mentioned.

[@michellemckinney5207]

Another good artist to listen to is Ronnie Milsap. Smoky Mountain Rain is my favorite.

[@beegee1960]

Of course do Snoop and Willie.

[@cherylrawlings8875]

The writer of this song is the dark haired guy at the tables ! Towns Van Zandt. Died young from Alcohol!!!

[@watchingthewheelsgoround260]

Lol, please consider reviewing “if I can find a clean shirt “ by Willie and Waylon?!

[@JHargis68]

Merle's last album was "Django and Jimmy", another duet album with Willie, in 2015. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart.

[@TexasMagnolia]

New Comers to Willie do not realize how legendary his guitar pickin’ was. There is a great clip called “Willie’s Guitar, Trigger” This very old guitar is such a powerful staple to Willie, that, when Willie was in trouble with the IRS, he had to hide Trigger, because of the money they (IRS) could gain in an auction.

[@ronsmith6094]

The guy who wrote this song plays three different characters in the video

[@bonedaddy95]

Gotta listen to "My Favorite Memory" by Merle Haggard. No matter how many time I try to sing the opening verse it never sounds right, seems like merle can only due it and Its such a beauty song and my all time favorite drinking song and some what sober "I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink" If you get bored look up Daryl Singletary, he does a cover of Johnny paycheck " old violin"

[@jesseduke694]

Townes Van Zandt was in that video! That's somebody you should check out!

[@kindune2112]

I think Townes wrote this song

[@jesseduke694]

@@kindune2112 I believe your right

[@ahwhite2022]

If you ask 5 people to define "traditional" country music, you'll get five different answers. It's always fundamentally been a marketing label, featuring musicians with a rich complexity of backgrounds and styles. But, trends will do what trends will do, and certain sounds get developed and associated with certain eras that people look back on with nostalgia. I doubt there's any musical genre this doesn't happen to.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

Well put, thanks.

[@BitchinStitches]

@@DjPjrocReacts911 If you want the definitive list of what is "classic" or "traditional" country artists, react to George Jones' "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes".

[@beegee1960]

It certainly happened to rock and roll.

[@mplslawnguy3389]

For me “traditional country” sounds like Hank Sr., but real traditional country is just folk music that came over from Europe, specifically Scotch-Irish folk, which branched off into many different genres as time went on.

[@watchingthewheelsgoround260]

Please review “ The highway men”!

[@patdrips3783]

A great song by 2 great friends. Back in 2017 I think they did a song called [ It's all going to pot ] really cool video to see 2 old legends in their twilight make an album and smoking pot. Also Willie wrote a song after Merle died called [ He will never be gone ] Merle's son plays guitar and willie's wife sings harmony. Just a beautiful song about their friendship.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

You always dripping Pat!

[@rockinredneck57]

The Willie Nelson written, Merle Haggard and George Jones sung Yesterday's Wine is one of the best duets ever. Willie, Hag and Townes were true songsmiths. They know how to tell a story and immerse you in it.

[@kevinmcdonald6446]

Wille doesn't sing a song, he "styles" it. The beat doesn't seem to matter, he makes it work. Merle's voice is so rich. Both wrote songs from (their) life. Three geniuses on this song, Van Zant was as good a songwriter as any, better than most. Enjoy your insights.

[@leslietayloriii8405]

@leslietayloriii8405 0 seconds ago The man playing the guitar in the dinner is Towns VanZandt . He wrote this song and also played the part of 1 of the federallys

[@WalkerBohAus]

Willie does have a distinct voice. But if you want really unique, check out Marty Robbins. That is a truly iconic voice.

@@DjPjrocReacts911 Loved it, thank you. Please do Cowboy in the Continental Suit. It's an upbeat song with a good message about judging a book by its cover. Sadly slmost no on has reviewed it.

Should Do the one Merle & Willie sang b4 Merle passed...Called It's all Going to Pot!!

[@artfisk3]

two legends ! "it's all going to pot" i believe was the last one they did together

[@shellyjackson3887]

Two of the greats of country music!!! I've been to several Merle concerts (most the time we were both drunk. LOL) Never got the chance to see the great Willie!!! Spending some time in Bakersfield, I was partial to Merle!! But, love Willie too!

[@ruthcrawford3015]

I did see Willie in concert 1 time. He was already getting older and slowing down. He was live of course, and every song was impeccable, but he didn't talk to the crowd. I was kinda disappointed , but I'm always impressed when a live performer is spot on, every single time. I gotta say the same about Brooks and Dunn too (though they played and had fun with the crowd!! ). Ronnie did not miss a beat, all the energy and perfection, right there. in every single song and Kix was a joy as always!!

Believe on the name of Jesus Christ and be saved from hell before it’s eternally too late if you haven’t already

[@jonnyc71]

been enjoying watching your reviews. love all these old outlaw country artists. if you want to try some of the new "outlaw" artist check out tyler childers "nose on the grindstone" from our vinyl sessions. or colter wall "kate mccannon" from 16 brewery sessions. both of them have very unique voices

[@bonimcnatt4844]

Do you know what the story is about? The story is that PanchoVilla was killed in Mexico by the Federalis but there is a rumor that he escaped north. Ohio? You can research it more as you wish.

[@carolyncostner9619]

Please react to "Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground " by Willie. Enjoy your channel!

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

Thank you

[@darkomtobia]

"I Ain't No Superman" by Willie and Snoop is great, lol. Fun fact: Willie outsmoked Snoop. There's clips of Snoop telling about it...which brings us to: Toby Kieth, "I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again"

[@GaOutlawVinyl]

This was written by Townes Van Zandt. A friend once asked why didn’t he write some happy songs. He replied these are my happy songs. The best song he ever wrote was one he recorded himself called Waiting Around To Die. Could you please react to it?

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

Yes I will ✌🏾

[@lynnstiefer3666]

Have you listened to Willie and Ray Charles?

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

I have.

[@davidstephens6462]

Might I suggest some Emmie Lou Harris? She did this song as well but was not a big hit.

[@chlupl]

I used to run the sound board for a cover singer that could pull off Willie like Willie. He does have a unique sound that is almost unmatched. Willie Nelson, I suggest City if New Orleans. Merle Haggard, I suggest Big City. And yes.. to whatever you want to react to, lol.

[@aztronomy7457]

You are idris Elba

[@TR-yi8up]

Might be the best story song of all time. Townes Van Zandt is still the most poetic lyricist country/Americana has ever seen. Gene Clark takes second

[@alanh1508]

I believe you are correct I find this song not to be traditional or even outlaw county there no steel guitar. That being said it's still a great song.
