merle haggard just a closer walk with thee live

[@JoJo1955]

Best rendition of this song I've heard. My dad used to sing it to us children when young and before we started our own family band. My sister (drummer and vocalist) had a lot of stories of eating sauerkraut and other 'adventures' with Merle on his ranch in California - I enjoyed listening to her stories of her playing with many great classic country stars - some of which were quite startling to say the least! What would be cool if Merle and Karen Carpenter are singing this song together in the afterlife. My two favorite singers of all time. Timeless.

[@nancywood9027]

We have lost a lot of our humanity when we lost some of these older country singers. Really miss all the old greats like Merle and others.

[@janetfarris2771]

[@clairelowry9122]

I've always liked lyrics that tell the stories. Classic country do the job quite nicely. And I'm always searching for the others. Sometimes I get lucky.

[@anniepuk]

Jerry Lee Lewis walks even closer

[@tadpolebo]

Harry Dean that played in the cool hand Luke movie, is the best I ever heard sang this song, he sang it a little slower and with so much more feeling,

[@jerryu.6433]

@@tadpolebo I have to agree with you after I listening to it again by Harry Dean.

[@gailchaisson975]
